WampServer: Localhost can not access “Forbidden; You don’t have permission to access the server”; How to fix?

On WampServer if you try to access and you see error 403 forbidden,

You don’t have permission to access / on this server.

To solve this problem we have 2 different solutions

1. Modify the apache HTTPD.CONF file. Change “Listen 80” to “Listen 0.0.0.0:80 http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,93143
2. Got to your Wamp directory C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\conf and open httpd.confRemove “Deny from all” line from httpd.conf and “Restart all services”

   Before my change :

   <Directory “c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/”>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride all
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
   Allow from all
   </Directory>

   After my changes :

   <Directory “c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/”>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride all
   Order Deny,Allow
   Allow from all
   </Directory>

How to configure Apache to listen on different port ?

Since I wanted to keep running IIS on the port 80, I decided to run my WAMP Server on a different port. So here is how I did it.

I had to change http.conf file which in my case is in folder C:/WAMP/bin/apache/apache2.4.9/conf/. Open it (with Notepad for example) and search for 80. I had to change the following three lines on different places:

Listen 0.0.0.0:80         # Changed to Listen 0.0.0.0:81
Listen [::0]:80           # Changed to Listen [::0]:81
ServerName localhost:80   # Changed toServerName localhost:81

Now I have got the green icon of WAMP Server on Windows 8.

Troubleshoot : WAMPSERVER not starting on Windows Machine?

1. WampServer is installed

   Click WampServer -> Apache -> Service -> Click Test Port 80.

2. From Command line

Run netstat command to find out which applications are using port 80
Go to CMD -> and Type netstat -aon |find /i “listening” |find “80”

C:\Users\Administrator>netstat -aon |find /i “listening” |find “80”

• If you have Skype running, then you have to do the following within Skype:

Go to Menu bar –> click Tools ► Options ► Advanced settings ► Connection.
Now uncheck the following checkbox:
Now restart SKYPE for these changes to take effect.

Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections

• If you have Microsoft IIS installed, and you are not intending to use it you can uninstall it, it is not an integral part of windows so its being uninstalled wont effect normal operations of windows, and if you need to install it again later, it comes as part of the standard OS so you wont need to do anything perticularly clever.

  So go to Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features
  Click the ‘Turn windows features on and off’ link in the left hand menu.
  Wait for the list to load and then find ‘Internet Information Services’

  Un-check the check boxes for the following items ( you may not see all of them)

  1. IIS
  2. Web Deploy 2.0
  3. MS Sql Server Reporting service.

How to Configure SKYPE so it does not require port 80 or 443 by default?

Run SKYPE
then using the menus do this:
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Connection
Un-Check the checkbox next to ‘Use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incomming connections’
Now restart SKYPE for these changes to take effect.

If you are running Windows 8 SKYPE comes as an app and this cannot ( as yet ) be configured in this way.
However if you uninstall the SKYPE app and install SKYPE in the old way, you can reconfigure it, and it works just as well.
