Hi,

i'm quite new to Apache and Servers in general and on my Wamp Server on a Windows 7 System using Apache 2.4.4 i get the following Error when trying to access localhost (from the Server machine of course ;)):

--------------------------
Forbidden

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

My httpd.conf has the following entries:

--------------------------
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
--------------------------

I tried several different wordings like "Require all granted" instead of "Order Allow,Deny Allow from all" but nothing worked :(

I would be happy if somebody could help me.

Thanks,
Jan

Try changing...

Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all

to...

Require all granted

It appears you're trying to use Apache-2.2.x syntax with an Apache-2.4.x install.

Details here...

Run-Time Configuration Changes

httpd initializes, so mod_access_compat is loaded, but converting to Require is reasonable. The default setting should be

AllowOverride none

Require all denied

</Directory>

The document root setting should be

<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None

Require all granted
</Directory>

But this itself probably won't fix anything. What is written to the error log at the time of the failed request? If nothing, change LogLevel to trace8 temporarily.
