WAMP (2.4) Not accessible from my LAN

[whispers]

Hey Gang-

So I have been running WAMP 2.4 for a while now, locally for years…

I recently wanted to open up some projects to my LAN… couldnt get it to work.

I have been ALL Over the place with this… so figured its time I stopped and reached out for help finally… LOL

Locally (from WAMP installed PC: 192.168.1.121):

• I can access all my projects from localhost/xxxx has worked for years, no issues
• I cant seem to access it (from install PC) using 127.0.0.1 (not sure if I could before I started messing around though?)
• I cant seem to access it using 192.168.1.121 (not sure if I could before I started messing around though?)

After tons of ‘tweaks’… I have tried to access the projects from another PC on my network (IP: 192.168.1.101)… and while I can PING both ways from each machine to each other… (no packet loss)

I can never seem to get the page(s) to load?

I have went from:

• Not able to connect (timeout)
  to
• Not Found
  to
• Forbidden

After messing about for the last couple days…

I have:

Added Firewall rules (inbound) for both TCP and UPD ports:80
Edited HOST file
Edited: httpd-vhosts.conf
Edited: httpd.conf
WAMP Online…etc…

At this point… I just cant guess anymore, and need to work with someone who is better at this than I am! LOL

Anyone here have a good knowledge of WAMP? (Apache?)

I know not a very popular subject here…

but wanted to update it update the results anyways.

While I tried every and all tutorials I found on-line…etc… nothing seemed to work.

localhost still works on port:80 as normal…

127.0.0.1 - never worked
192.168.1.121 (host PC IP) - never worked.

Eventually I tried to change those to a different port (8080)

and there ya have it… they both worked

127.0.0.1:8080
192.168.1.1:8080

both worked… by phone, mby other PC’s on LAN…etc…

I’m not exactly clear WHY things were working on port 80… when it clearly works on port:80 for localhost?

Either way… I guess as lat option… try a different port#
