Can’t access localhost – no permission

localhostwamp

I have problem accessing localhost (127.0.0.1) with chrome and internet explorer, but have no such problem with firefox and opera..

When I try to access 127.0.0.1, I got this message:

You don't have permission to access / on this server

I have tried reinstalling wamp server but up to no avail.

Is there any setting i should change to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance

Try this, it works for me:

Click on the Wamp server icon in the Notification area (Taskbar).
Scroll down and select "Put Online".
Your server will restart automatically.
Try to access the localhost again.

Can’t access localhost or phpMyAdmin with WAMP

Fixed it.

The last paragraph in my post was the key: I went into Skype and unchecked the "Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections." Then I went back into the httpd.conf file and changed "Listen 8080" back to the original "Listen 80".

Now both Skype and WAMP work properly.

The access to your Apache server is forbidden from addresses other than 127.0.0.1 in httpd.conf (Apache's config file) :

<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride all
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

The same goes for your PHPMyAdmin access, the config file is phpmyadmin.conf :

<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>

You can set them to allow connections from all IP addresses like follows :

AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
