Unable to open phpMyAdmin - apache

I am trying to open my phpMyAdmin through wamp server but I am getting an error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.
I have changed the phpMyAdmin.conf file to
Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.5.1/"
# to give access to phpmyadmin from outside # replace the lines # # Order Deny,Allow # Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
#
# by
#
# Order Allow,Deny
# Allow from all
# <Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
still facing the same error .

Uncomment this line
# <Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
by removing the #
and change the version number to match
<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.5.1/">
That version of phpMyAdmin is not one that was released with any version of WAMPServer I can remember, so are you trying to manually upgrade phpMyAdmin
Also it is safer assuming you are not actually wanting the universe to be allowed into your server not to use Allow from all
You could try changeing that to
Allow from localhost, 127.0.0.1
And if I remember correctly Apache 2.2.22 was IPV6 aware so you could also add
Allow from ::1
Then the server would only allow connections from the PC running WAMPServer, very relevant as we are talking about phpMyAdmin.
If you want it to be accessible from other PC's on your network you can also add
Allow from 192.168.1
For example, assuming you are on that subnet, any ip on that subnet would be allowed access
Once you make any of these changes, remember you must restart Apache for them to take effect.

I cannot access XAMP on an HP SERVER with 4 IP Addresses

I have a problem accessing my XAMP server on an HP SERVER DL360G7 that has 4 IP address. Here are the networks.
172.22.46.x
and
172.22.7.x
I managed to access my site using the 172.22.7.x network. However, when I try to browse using any computer under the 172.22.46.x network, the server doesn't reply anything.
Here is my APACHE config
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All
#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Require all granted
Require ip 172.22.46
Check if apache is bound against any address instead of just 1 server IP. When you execute the function netstat -tupl in the console and search for httpd, does it bind to * or to a specific IP?
Else check your httpd.conf for the Listen command. There shouldn't be any specific IP if you want it to listen to all interfaces.

Apache: client denied by server configuration

I am getting
[Tue Apr 24 12:12:55 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] client denied by server configuration: /labs/Projects/Nebula/bin/
My directory structure looks like (I am using Symfony 2, should be similar structure for other web frameworks)
I have vhosts setup like:
<VirtualHost nebula:80>
DocumentRoot "/labs/Projects/Nebula/web/"
ServerName nebula
ErrorLog "/var/log/httpd/nebula-errors.log"
</VirtualHost>
<Directory "/labs/Projects/Nebula/">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from 127.0.0 192.168.1 ::1 localhost
</Directory>
I wonder whats the problem and how do I fix it?
Apache 2.4.3 (or maybe slightly earlier) added a new security feature that often results in this error. You would also see a log message of the form "client denied by server configuration". The feature is requiring an authorized user identity to access a directory. It is turned on by DEFAULT in the httpd.conf that ships with Apache. You can see the enabling of the feature with the directive
Require all denied
This basically says to deny access to all users. To fix this problem, either remove the denied directive (or much better) add the following directive to the directories you want to grant access to:
Require all granted
as in
<Directory "your directory here">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
# New directive needed in Apache 2.4.3:
Require all granted
</Directory>
OK I am using the wrong syntax, I should be using
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
...
In Apache 2.4 the old access authorisation syntax has been deprecated and replaced by a new system using Require.
What you want then is something like the following:
<Directory "/labs/Projects/Nebula/">
Options All
AllowOverride All
<RequireAny>
Require local
Require ip 192.168.1
</RequireAny>
</Directory>
This will allow connections that originate either from the local host or from ip addresses that start with "192.168.1".
There is also a new module available that makes Apache 2.4 recognise the old syntax if you don't want to update your configuration right away:
sudo a2enmod access_compat
I had this issue using Vesta CP and for me, the trick was remove .htaccess and try to access to any file again.
That resulted on regeneration of .htaccess file and then I was able to access to my files.
Can you try changing "Allow from 127.0.0 192.168.1 ::1 localhost" to "Allow from all".
If that fixes your problem, you need to be less restrict about where content can be requested from
Here's my symfony 1.4 virtual host file on debian, which works fine.
<Directory /var/www/sf_project/web/>
Options All Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
If you wan't to restrict access to a specific ip range, e.g. localhost use this:
Allow from 127.0.0.0/8
The mod_authz_host is responsible for filtering ip ranges. You can look up detailed things in there.
But maybe the problem could be related to some kind of misconfiguration in your "apache2.conf".
On what OS is the apache running?
if you are having the
Allow from All
in httpd.conf then make sure us have
index.php
like in the below line in httpd.conf
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
In my case the key was:
AllowOverride All
in vhost definition.
I hope it helps someone.
This code worked for me..
<Location />
Allow from all
Order Deny,Allow
</Location>
Hope this helps others

WAMP error: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server

I am new to WAMP and I have just installed it today.
The setup went well and localhost seems to work, but when I try to access phpMyAdmin I get this error:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.
Why do I get this permission access error with phpMyAdmin?
I am using Windows 7.
Change the file content of c:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf to the following.
Note: You should set the Allow Directive to allow from your local machine for security purposes. The directive Allow from all is insecure and should be limited to your local machine.
<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
Here my WAMP installation is in the c:\wamp folder. Change it according to your installation.
Previously, it was like this:
<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
Modern versions of Apache 2.2 and up will look for a IPv6 loopback instead of a IPv4 loopback (your localhost).
The real problem is that wamp is binding to an IPv6 address. The fix:
just add Allow from ::1 - Tiberiu-Ionuț Stan
<Directory "c:/wamp22/apps/phpmyadmin3.5.1/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost 127.0.0.1 ::1
</Directory>
This will allow only the local machine to access local apps for Apache.
Restart your Apache server after making these changes.
You have to just check whether your WAMP server is online or not.
To put your WAMP server online, follow these steps.
Go to your WAMP server notification icon (in the task bar).
Single click on the WAMP server icon.
Select last option from the menu, that is, Put Online
Your server will restart automatically (in the latest versions only). Otherwise, you have to restart your server manually.
And you are DONE...
If you're using WAMP with Apache 2.4.2 or greater, you need to use Require all instead of Allow and remove Order Deny,Allow:
<Directory "f:/Projects/myproject/www/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
</Directory>
*as stated in this blog post
Just use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost (no changes to the configuration file are required).
System:
Windows 7
wampserver2.2d-x64
This works:
http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/
This one fails:
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
I just had the same problem. It turns out that my installation of Windows is using the IPv6 address ::1 instead of 127.0.0.1. To solve this, I opened httpd.conf and changed the following line:
Allow from 127.0.0.1
to:
Allow from 127.0.0.1 ::1
Now I can access the server through localhost. Whatever you do, don't remove the Deny from all from the line above, or anyone on your network can gain access to your web server (unless that's what you want of course).
If you are on Windows 7 or 8 then Apache might be seeing the connections coming from "::1" which is the IPv6 equivalent of 127.0.0.1.
You can check this by looking in the Apache Access Log (reachable from the WAMP menu)
::1 - - [20/Dec/2012:21:35:04 +0000] "GET /phpmyadmin/ HTTP/1.1" 403 213
The ::1 at the start is the clients address. The 403 at the end is the Access Denied code.
The answers above will remove all restrictions and open phpmyadmin to all, but if you still want to restrict phpmyadmin to your machine only (generally a good idea) then under the line...
Allow from 127.0.0.1
..add the following:
Allow from ::1
(edit: Added suggestion from Nukeface)
Change
Listen 80
to
Listen 127.0.0.1:80
in your httpd.conf file. It will bind Apache to a specific IP address and port.
I found that using localhost would not work properly to allow local access from the server. I had to use 127.0.0.1.
In phpmyadmin.conf this did not work:
Deny from all
Allow from localhost
this did work:
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
I am using WampServer Version 2.2
For Apache 2.4.2:
In httpd.conf:
Change
Require local
to
Require all granted
I wanted to run my server online and not under localhost / 127.0.0.1 and had the forbidden message. I am running the WAMP 2.2 server (Apache 2.4.2 / PHP 5.4.3 / MySQL 5.5.24) on Windows 7 64 bit. What worked for me is the following:
Press the startup WAMP icon in the menu
Choose Apache folder
Choose the file httpd.conf
Under the Directory tab section (section with "# Online --> Require all granted" text), I had the "Require local" option which I changed to "Require all granted"
Restart all services of the WAMP
Again, it worked for me and from this thread I understand that there are many cases in which you may get the above error message so if mine does not work, try other solutions.
Good luck.
(I hope it helps someone like it helped me. I did not find any one of the solutions above working for me.)
1.change D:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf\httpd.conf near line 279
Require local
into
Require all granted
2.change like this in D:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf from existing one
<Directory "d:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
3.Click to Restart All services in wamp.
4.Click put online in wamp.
5.Again Click to Restart All services in wamp.
Hope it Helps..
I fixed that problem before. It can happen due to many reasons, so you can use some or all of the next steps (opening mentioned files using any text editor, like Notepad++).
If you install WAMP in C:\wamp
1- Open file C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf\httpd.conf
Note: you may have a different Apache version than Apache 2.2.22, so you need to write it instead.
Search for: Directory "C:/wamp/www/". You will find something similar to this:
<Directory "C:/wamp/www/">
# maybe there is some comments here ...
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Be sure that Allow from all is exists and not outcommented.
2- Open file C:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf.
Make sure that
<Directory "C:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.5.1/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
Change Allow from 127.0.0.1 to Allow from all.
You can remove Deny from all or comment it out by adding # at the beginning of the line, but you have to make sure that Allow from all is the last line of code just before </Directory>.
Note: you may have a different version than phpMyAdmin 3.5.1.
To use localhost/phpmyadmin instead of 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin:
Open file C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf. Add the following at the end of it.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
The simple solution to this would be to find phpmyadmin.conf file and then find below code inside it,
<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.5.1/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>
Change "Deny from all" to "Allow from all".
OR

WAMP says Forbidden You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server Windows 7 or 8
Enjoy :)
If WampServer works in the computer it is installed but not on another device in your network (e.g.: from your phone) with the 'You don't have permission to access on this server.' try the following.
1.
Edit the httpd-vhosts.conf (C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.33\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf), so it looks like this:
<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
2.
Edit the phpmyadmin.conf (C:\wamp64\alias\phpmyadmin.conf), so it looks like this:
<Directory "d:/wamp64/apps/phpmyadmin4.7.9/">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Require all granted
3.
Restart WampServer services
For Apache 2.4.2 the solution is:
in httpd.conf on line 265 change Require none to Require all granted.
That's all.
I had commented out the ::1 line in my hosts file.
Even I faced the same issue with my domain. If I gave an IP address it was working. But with a domain name it was not.
Then I checked my DNS A record. The domain had multiple entries with different IP addresses assigned. I removed all the wrong values, and it worked. Just one more check list if anyone faces a similar issue.
Just edit the file "c:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf"
like this
<Directory "C:/wamp64/apps/phpmyadmin4.5.5.1/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
In WAMP 3.1.4 x64 I solved updating the file C:\wamp64\alias\phpmyadmin.conf from this:
Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp64/apps/phpmyadmin4.8.3/"
<Directory "c:/wamp64/apps/phpmyadmin4.8.3/">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride all
<ifDefine APACHE24>
Require local
</ifDefine>
<ifDefine !APACHE24>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from localhost ::1 127.0.0.1
</ifDefine>
# To import big file you can increase values
php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_admin_value post_max_size 128M
php_admin_value max_execution_time 360
php_admin_value max_input_time 360
</Directory>
to this:
Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp64/apps/phpmyadmin4.8.3/"
<Directory "c:/wamp64/apps/phpmyadmin4.8.3/">
Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Require all granted
# To import big file you can increase values
php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 128M
php_admin_value post_max_size 128M
php_admin_value max_execution_time 360
php_admin_value max_input_time 360
</Directory>
And finally restarting all WAMP services.
In my case, the problem was that the phpMyAdmin version was specified wrongly in the phpmyadmin.conf file. You may check that:
Go to wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.x.x: notice the file name - what version you are currently using?
Open file wamp/alias/phpmyadmin.conf:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Check the first line (directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.x.x/") is the file name exactly the same as your actual file name.
Make sure the directory file name is absolutely correct.
replace localhost with 127.0.0.1 in your URL, worked for me.
I had a similar issue. My Apache configuration file looked like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mywebsite.com
ServerAlias www.mywebsite.com
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/vtigercrm"
<Directory "/"
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Here's how I fixed it:
The issue was that I specified the Directory as "/" (that is root folder on my server) instead of "C:/wamp64/www/vtigercrm/", which is where I have my website files.
I modified my configuration this way:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mywebsite.com
ServerAlias www.mywebsite.com
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp64/www/vtigercrm"
<Directory "C:/wamp64/www/myvtigercrm/"
Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And everything worked fine.
What was going on with my setup was that WAMP was binding to an IPv6 Address (and every subsequent time I reinstalled WAMP).
To fix this, I went into c:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf and added the line Allow from ::1
The reason might be 127.0.0.1 is not linked to localhost. Check your 'C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts' file. It should have a line like this:
# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
127.0.0.1 localhost
I tried to set up my password... And that's how I got locked out from localhost. They should fix this...
Anyway, be careful with random advice. They all may or may not work. But some advice will lock you out even further. The one that worked for me:
Type "http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/" in the address bar.
Then I discovered that http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ also works.
However, before that, out of desperation I had...
I deleted the files, I uninstalled WAMP, deleted temporary cookies, and installed WAMP again. It still doesn't accept "localhost" (and I am tired after a day trying to access WAMP), but the 127.0.0.1 and the localhost/phpmy... work. I am happy to see the page back. And start working again.
If you read this thread all the way to here means you are probably in a big problem... Windows 8, WAMP (wampserver 2.2). I wonder what it needs to get back access to localhost.
In my case a WAMP server was installed before on my pc, so when installing the new one some files not overwritten, all you have to do in that case is to go to the C:\ and delete the whole WAMP folder then install it again.
Check if you are logged in as root or user with privileges. Just to be sure, logout and login again with root/no-password.
If your WAMP icon is not green try:
Left Click WAMP Icon > MySQL > Services > Install Service
So all of these answers are basically the same one. They only address one idea: it has to be DNS related. Well, that is not the only part of this it turns out. After many changes, I was getting nowhere reading the next "same answer" hoping that it would just go my way.
What did the trick for me was to adjust my versions of Apache. I think what the deal was, is that the one of the configuration files get a path off or that the install due to IIS may have been messed up / or / or /etc. And so forcing a version change readdresses everything from your firewall to bad configurations.
In fact, when I switched back to Apache 2.4.2 it goes back to being a forbidden. And as soon as I go back to Apache 2.4.4 it comes back up. That rules out local network issues. I just wanted to point out that all of the answers here are the same and that I have been able to kill the forbidden by changing the Apache version.
I had the same problem. The hosts file is corrupted!
there were:
localhos 127.0.0.1
localhost 127.0.0.1
localhos 127.0.0.1
localhos 127.0.0.1
The result is that localhost is not defined.
Solution: edit the hosts file with admin rights and correct to only one entry:
localhost 127.0.0.1

Are you on Unix or Windows? If on Unix, check the owner/permissions for the directory that phpMyAdmin is installed under - that might have something to do with it.
It looks to me as if you're trying to access a private address from a remote network. You can't. You will have to configure a webserver on your machine and use a ddns (in case you don't have a fixed public ip) service on your server. You will probablly have to redirect port 80 incoming traffic on your router pointing to the webserver machine also.
just for reference of other users who will encounter this kind of issue I would like to remind everyone that aside from changing directories, you must also have to check your firewall settings.
It happened to me, I've changed everything (all config in xampp) but still cannot connect. I almost gave up and then I remembered firewall. After I changed my settings it all works fine.

How to access site running apache server over lan without internet connection

I am running a server on Windows XP SP2 computer using EasyPhp. Lets call it computer_1.
The ip address of computer is 192.168.1.2
Now I have another computer ( computer_2) on the lan with ip address 192.168.1.3
I want to access the site on computer_1 from computer_2.
comupter_2 can ping computer_1 (ping 192.168.1.2 works)
But when I type http://192.168.1.2 in the browser of computer_2, nothing happens.
I want to access the site on comupter_1 from computer_2.
In your httpd.conf make sure you have:
Listen *:80
And if you are using VirtualHosts then set them as given below:
NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
...
</VirtualHost>
Open httpd.conf of Apache server (backup first)
Look for the the following : Listen
Change the line to
Listen *:80
Still in httpd.conf, look for the following (or similar):
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
Deny from all
</Directory>
Change this block to :
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
#Deny from all
</Directory>
Save httpd.conf and restart apache
Open port 80 of the server such that everyone can access your server.
Open Control Panel >> System and Security >> Windows Firewall then click on “Advance Setting” and then select “Inbound Rules” from the left panel and then click on “Add Rule…”. Select “PORT” as an option from the list and then in the next screen select “TCP” protocol and enter port number “80” under “Specific local port” then click on the ”Next” button and select “Allow the Connection” and then give the general name and description to this port and click Done.
Restart WAMP and access your machine in LAN or WAN.
* Don't change anything to Listen : keep it as it is..
1) Open httpd.conf of Apache server (backup first) Look for the the following :
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
#Deny from all
</Directory>
and also this
<Directory "cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
2) Now From taskbar :
Click on wamp icon > Apache > Apache modules > apache_rewrite (enable
this module)
And Ya Also Activate "Put Online" From same taskbar icon
You need to allow port request from windows firewall setting.
(Windows 7)
Go to control panel > windows firewall > advance setting (on left
sidebar)
then
Right click on inbound rules -> add new rule -> port -> TCP (Specific
port 80 - if your localhost wok on this port) -> Allow the connections
-> Give a profile name -> ok
Now Restart all the services of Apache server & you are done..
if you did change the httpd.conf file located under conf_files folder, don't use windows notepad, you need a unix text editor, try TED pad, after making any changes to your httpd.conf file save it.
ps: if you use a dos/windows editor you will end up with an "Error in Apache file changed" message. so do be careful....

nothing to be done for running your wamp sites to another computer.
1. first turn off the firewall.
2. Set Put Online in wamp by clcking in wamp icon at near to clock.
Finally run your browser in another computer and type http:\ip address or computer name e.g. http:\192.168.1.100
Your firewall does not allow any new connection to share information without your consent. ONLY thing to do is give your consent to your firewall.
Go to Firewall settings in Control Panel
Click on Advanced Settings
Click on Inbound Rules and Add a new rule.
Choose 'Type Of Rule' to Port.
Allow this for All Programs.
Allow this rule to be applied on all Profiles i.e. Domain, Private, Public.
Give this rule any name.
That's it. Now another PC and mobiles connected on the same network can access the local sites. Lets Start Development.
You might also want to check your server configuration - sometimes the default for development type servers is to only accept connections from localhost.
Please reformulate your question. Your first sentence does not make sense.

http://ip.of.server/ should work in principle. However, depending on configuration (virtual hosting) only using the correct host name may work.
At any rate, if you have a network, you should properly configure DNS, otherwise all kinds of problems (such as this) may occur.
Open the "internet protocol properties" section on computer_2.
Enter the ip address (192.168.1.2) of computer_1 in "Preferred DNS server" text box and click ok and close the dialog box.
Now try to open the website again on computer_2.
navigate to C:\wamp\alias.
make file with project name and like phpmyadmin.conf
add the following section and change :
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
change directory to your directory path like c:\wamp\www\projectfolder
make sure you make the same in httpd.conf for all directory like
first directory:
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
second directory:
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride all
#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
# onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all

I was trying to access my localhost website (on my pc) from my mobile (andriod).
The configuration is like Windows 10, WAMP 2.4.23, PHP Website and my mobile was running on andriod. Both my mobile and pc are connected to same wifi.
I was able to open my website on my pc by using url http://localhost/mysite or http://127.0.0.1/mysite. My pc ip was 192.168.0.1 (say) and my mobile ip was 192.168.0.2 (say) and both connected on same wifi.
I tried all the setting like changing the httpd.conf, httpd-vhosts.conf only to find that all I need was to disable my firewall. Of course, disabling the firewall completely is not a good idea. I have avast antivirus running on my pc. If I check the firewall log for last one hour (or so) I can see that attempt has been made by my mobile ip to connect to website running on my pc. All it required was to add an exception by creating a new rule in avast UI which will allow connections from my mobile ip.
Hope this helps someone.
