Cannot access wamp server on local network

Question

I want to host a website on my local network  For some reason I can only access wamp in my local computer    I have 2 computers in my network  Both computer A and computer B have wamp server installed  when I type the ip address of computer A from computer B I am able to connect to it  But when I do it the other way around it does not work  In other words when I type the ip address of computer B from computer A the browsers says  server at 192 168 0 120 is taking to long to respond   Things that I have done in order to solve the problem on computer B   remember I want to connect to computer B from computer A   1  turn off the firewall  2  Uninstall wamp and reinstall it   3  turn off the anti-virus   4  turn off windows firewall  5  Place wamp online and after putting it online restart all services  after doing all those steps I still cannot connect to it from computer B   I have not chaged any ini file plus I have uninstall it and install it again so why is it not possible to connect to it   I have used wamp for the last 3 years and I have never experienced this   Also wamp is the only web server that I have installed on this computer  I don t have IIS nor any other web server installed on my computer

I know this is an old post BUT I have been having problems getting WAMP server seen on my windows 7 pro network for days  tried all of the solutions offered  including changing windows system files  but still not working  finally in pure desperation I put everything on the system back as it was and installed WAMP Server on a different drive  E  WAMP   in my case  The result was it worked perfectly first time with no editing configs or messing with the system  Other users may wish to try this before reaching the  tear your hair out stage   it certainly saved my sanity or what I have left of it I hope this helps someone Dave

Turn off your firewall for port 80 from any address  Turn off 443 if you need https  SSL  access  Open the configuration file  http conf  and find the lines that say   Allow from 127 0 0 1   Change them to read  Allow from all   Restart the wampserver  It will now work  Enjoy

I had to uninstall my anti virus  Before uninstalling I clicked on the option where it said to disable auto-protect for 15 min  I also clicked on another option that supposibly disabled the anti-virus  That still was blocking my server  I don t understand why Norton makes it so hard to literally stop doing everything it s doing  I know I could had solve it by adding an exception to the firewall but Norton was taking care of windows firewall as well

Perhaps your Apache is bounded to localhost only  Look in your apache configuration file for   Listen 127 0 0 1 80   If you found it  replace it for   Listen 80    More info about Apache Binding

1  first of all Port 80 or what ever you are using  and 443 must be allow for both TCP and UDP packets  To do this  create 2 inbound rules for TPC and UDP on Windows Firewall for port 80 and 443   or you can disable your whole firewall for testing but permanent solution if allow inbound rule  2  If you are using WAMPServer 3 See bottom of answer For WAMPServer versions  lt   2 5 You need to change the security setting on Apache to allow access from anywhere else  so edit your httpd conf file  Change this section from       onlineoffline tag - don t remove      Order Deny Allow      Deny from all      Allow from 127 0 0 1      Allow from   1      Allow from localhost  To       onlineoffline tag - don t remove     Order Allow Deny       Allow from all  if  quot Allow from all quot  line not work for your then use  quot Require all granted quot  then it will work for you  WAMPServer 3 has a different method In version 3 and  gt  of WAMPServer there is a Virtual Hosts pre defined for localhost so dont amend the httpd conf file at all  leave it as you found it  Using the menus  edit the httpd-vhosts conf file   It should look like this    lt VirtualHost   80 gt      ServerName localhost     DocumentRoot D  wamp www      lt Directory   quot D  wamp www  quot  gt          Options  Indexes  FollowSymLinks  MultiViews         AllowOverride All         Require local      lt  Directory gt   lt  VirtualHost gt   Amend it to  lt VirtualHost   80 gt      ServerName localhost     DocumentRoot D  wamp www      lt Directory   quot D  wamp www  quot  gt          Options  Indexes  FollowSymLinks  MultiViews         AllowOverride All         Require all granted      lt  Directory gt   lt  VirtualHost gt   Note if you are running wamp for other than port 80 then VirtualHost will be like VirtualHost   86  86 or port whatever you are using  instead of VirtualHost   80 3  Dont forget to restart All Services of Wamp or Apache after making this change
