cookiemonster4470 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I'm new to this site and trying to learn PHP/MySQL, but hit my first road-bump in that I can't get Apache working. I just went to http://www.wampserver.com and installed WAMP5 1.7.3 with PHP 5.2.4 and MySQL 5.0.45, but when I go to http://localhost/ I get the error: "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server." What is wrong? (I thought people used WAMP to avoid having tons of set-up issues?!) :-\ Amy Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74316-solved-setting-up-wamp/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiemonster4470 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 I got Apache to display the default WAMP page temporarily but now it is broken again?! ??? I've been playing with the httpd.conf but haven't had any luck. Here are some key lines... #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 80 # # ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself. # This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify # it explicitly to prevent problems during startup. # # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. # ServerName localhost:80 # # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations. # DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www" Amy Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/74316-solved-setting-up-wamp/#findComment-375540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookiemonster4470 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Looks like I had to change the path in two places (see red)... # # ServerName gives the name and port that the server uses to identify itself. # This can often be determined automatically, but we recommend you specify # it explicitly to prevent problems during startup. # # If your host doesn't have a registered DNS name, enter its IP address here. # ServerName localhost:80 # # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your # documents.
