I require assistance configuring my WAMP server to allow Computer on my networks access a website on the server.
Installation of WAMP 3 server on a computer with a static ip goes well, no hiccups, and I can get the server running pretty easily on the local host. I create my directory a c:/wamp64/www/myproject, and I proceed to install the website that is already coded, its a mysql front end called Ennhanced SQL protal from www.eliacom.com
Now the local instance works well, and I can do the following:
localhost:8080/myproject and my website shows up nicely
if i put:
ipadressofserverPC:8080/myproject, it also loads up
If i go to another PC, and i write
ip-address-of-server:8080/myproject
It gives me error 403 forbidden.
Any ideas?
I am already familiar with editing the file on the server, just point me to a file and call the edits I'll try to get it working.
Thanks in advance!

By default WAMP only serves localhost. To change this edit the following config files
Replace
Require local
- line 11 in fileC:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.18\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf
withRequire all Granted
Replace
Require local
- line 279 in fileC:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.18\conf\httpd.conf
the<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/">
section withRequire all Granted
Make sure that in each section there is only one
require
statement and the 'all' is lowercase.Then Restart the WAMP server.
