Windows – Configure Apache 2.4.9 to access on LAN

apache-http-serverlanwampwindows 8.1

I have Apache 2.4.9 installed on Windows 8.1 system. I have configured httpd.config : 

Listen 0.0.0.0:80
Listen [::0]:80
..
..
<Directory />
   AllowOverride none
   Require all denied
   Allow from all
</Directory>
..
..
<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
   AllowOverride all
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
   Require local
</Directory>

and phpmyadmin.conf files as below: 

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  AllowOverride all
  Order Deny,Allow
  Allow from all
</Directory>

I am able to access phpmyadmin on another system but not other projects. I am getting this error –

Forbidden

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

I have tried almost all the methods to do this like – turning off firewall and creating new inbound firewall rule.

Please help me. Where am I making a mistake?

Your configuration includes this:

<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
   AllowOverride all
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
   Require local
</Directory>

That Require local directive limits access to the same host (i.e. localhost), as in docs:

The local provider allows access to the server if any of the following conditions is true:

  • the client address matches 127.0.0.0/8
  • the client address is ::1
  • both the client and the server address of the connection are the same

This allows a convenient way to match connections that originate from the local host:

Require local
