[SOLVED] don't have permission to access / on this server. but i can access phpmyadmin

don't have permission to access / on this server. but i can access phpmyadmin

I’m biginner with wamp, I have windows 7, apache 2.4.9 .

When I try "http://localhost" I get error :

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

i have no problem with "http://localhost/phpmyadmin".

This is a part of my httpd.conf :

<Directory />
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all         
</Directory>

My phpmyadmin.conf :

Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/"

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/">
   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>
  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>

What should I do ?

Solution

This part of your httpd.conf file

<Directory />
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  Order deny,allow
  Allow from all         
</Directory>

Should be returned to its original state

<Directory />
    AllowOverride none
    Require all denied
</Directory>

This controls access to the drive that Apache is installed on i.e. C:\. If you set this to allow access then you are making your whole C:\ drive potentially accessible to anybody.

Its not to big an issue while you are using WAMPServer as a development tool, but if you decide to make a site available for some remote testing and you open up your router then WAMMO Hackers paradise.
