Getting error after Wamp installation

Question

I'm getting this error msg after trying to open localhost/phpmyadmin after the installation process of Wamp:

Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.

How can I resolve this?

you must be administrator user on computer if you are admin already .. try "run as adminminstrator" — Muath, Dec 23 '13 at 17:39

Check out the httpd.conf file. In wamp just click the green "W" and select apache>httpd.conf then add this lines of code and see if it works (note that you have to restart the services before noticing any change)

<Directory "c:/wamp/www">
 Allow from All
</Directory>

Ignore any answer that tells you to change anything to `Allow from all` unless you actually want to allow access from ALL users on the internet. – RiggsFolly Dec 24 '13 at 01:16

Its probably an IPV6 issue, in other words apache is listening on IPV6 and actually using the ::1 IPV6 loopback address.

If you have installed WAMP 2.4 Change the file content of c:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf from

<Directory "d:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.0.4/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
    AllowOverride all
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
    Allow from ::1
    Allow from localhost
</Directory>

To the correct Apache 2.4.x syntax for any local address

<Directory "d:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.0.4/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
    AllowOverride all
    Require local
</Directory>

If you are still using WAMP 2.2.x Change the file content of c:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf from

<Directory "d:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.5.1/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

To

<Directory "d:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.5.1/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1 localhost ::1
</Directory>
