It should have been a simple case of left clicking the WAMPManager menu and clicking Put online. What that would have done is changed this section of httpd.conf from this: If using Apache 2.2.x # onlineoffline tag - don't remove Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 ::1 localhost To this: # onlineoffline tag - don't remove Order Allow,Deny Allow from all If using Apache 2.4.x # onlineoffline tag - don't remove Require local To this: # onlineoffline tag - don't remove Require all granted And strictly thats all you should have needed to do! But as you have done some manual messing with httpd.conf here are some things you need to check. I am assuming you wanted to change the port to 8080 rather than thinking you had to for some reason. If you didnt want to change port number to 8080 then use 80 in the following info instead of 8080. Changing to 8080 just makes life more complicated for your users, but if this is just a play site that does not really matter I suppose. httpd.conf # as your router probably does not support IPV6 change so apache only listens on IPV4 # you dont need to put the actual ip address of this PC in here as you say you did. Listen 0.0.0.0:8080 # ServerName port need to match the Listen, your question made me think you may have left this as localhost:80 ServerName localhost:8080 If using Apache 2.2.x # Assuming your site is in c:\wamp\www ( this section should already exist I just removed all the comments for brevity) <Directory "d:/wamp/www/"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride all # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # # onlineoffline tag - don't remove Order Allow,Deny Allow from all </Directory> If using Apache 2.4.x # Assuming your site is in c:\wamp\www ( this section should already exist I just removed all the comments for brevity) <Directory "c:/wamp/www/"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride all # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # # onlineoffline tag - don't remove Require all granted </Directory> If you made the common mistake of changing this section, change it back to this, or you will be giving access to your C:\ to anybody. If using Apache 2.2.x <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow Deny from all </Directory> If using Apache 2.4.x <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks Require all denied </Directory> I hope something in here makes you stumble upon your mistake or ommission.
