WAMP5 1.7.0 - Installed - Working - (403 Forbidden don't have permission)

[Learner]

As mentioned in title, I installed WAMP5 1.7.0. It is working, I can access and see the result for php pages from "Your Projects".

 

The problem I am facing is when accessing "http://localhost/phpmyadmin/" or "http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin/" retrurns with an error

 

"Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server."

 

Similarly this goes for sqlitemanager.

 

I did change to this as guided "$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'localhost/phpmyadmin/';" in phpmyadmin/config.inc

 

Hope I can find help very soon. It is making me mad, I feel like .....   ....because if this completes then I can start learning PHP. I am dedicated to learning this language so ......

 

Thanks for the help!

the absolute uri should be http://localhost/phpmyadmin (you left the http protocol out)

As far as I understand, you mean to say I need to put http protocol and yes I am putting that as written in my first entry post.

 

It is very much possible that I am not getting your point as I am new to all this, please make me understand.

 

Thanks!

Yeah i meant to have http:// before localhost/phpmyadmin in the $cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] variable. So the line should be:

 

$cfg['PmaAbsoluteUri'] = 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/';

 

Also could you tell me what OS you are running. I noticed on WAMP Servers forum that WAMP5 1.7.0 is having problems on Windows 2000/2003. Try downgrading WAMP and see if it fixes it

 

If you want to use the versions of software used in WAM5 1.7.0 then go for a manual install instead. I always recommend a manual install rather than an all-in-one package.

Hello, this is a bug in the apache2 soft.

I hope this helps.

 

I am still trying to figure out how to start the services when I am logged in as a user.

My wamp install works when I am logged in as Administrator but not when I am logged in with my user account.

 

I ll make a new post about it soon.
