For Apache 2 4 2  I was getting 403  Forbidden continuously when I was trying to access WAMP on my Windows 7 desktop from my iPhone on WiFi  On one blog  I found the solution - add Require all granted after Allow all in the  lt Directory gt  section  So this is how my  lt Directory gt  section looks like inside  lt VirtualHost gt    lt Directory  C  wamp www  gt      Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes ExecCGI     AllowOverride All     Order Allow Deny     Allow from all     Require all granted  lt  Directory gt

Somewhere  you need to tell Apache that people are allowed to see contents of this directory    lt Directory  F  bar public  gt      Order Allow Deny     Allow from All       Any other directory-specific stuff  lt  Directory gt    More info

You did not need  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews Includes ExecCGI AllowOverride All Order Allow Deny Allow from all Require all granted   the only thing what you need is     Require all granted      inside the directory section   See Apache 2 4 upgrading side   http   httpd apache org docs 2 4 upgrading html
