Enable local network access to sites on WAMP Server

Question

I have Windows 10 64 bit, WampServer Version 3.0.6 64bit, Apache/2.4.23 (Win64), PHP/5.6.25.

I have downloaded a fresh version of it today so it is the latest version.

I am trying to make my sites available on the local network.

I have created a virtual host for my site and i am able to access my site properly on my pc (where the server is also located). I have tried all below solutions but none of them works

Here is my Httpd.conf

Require all granted
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Here is my Httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName testsite
    DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/simple-php-website-master"
    <Directory  "c:/wamp64/www/simple-php-website-master/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I have put my server online by enabling the options by Right click Wampmanager -> WAMPSetting -> Menu Item: Online/Offline

Both antivirus and windows firewall is turned off. I am running it as administrator. Also reinstalling didn't work.

I am using pc ip address to access the site and i have tried all below formats but none of them worked

192.168.0.36/testsite/index.php
192.168.0.36/testsite/
192.168.0.36/

Already looked into following solutions.

I am using this simple site to test. it doesn't have any database or anything.

I am getting below error when I try to access the site from mobile or any other pc

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /testsite on this server.

Perhaps this virtualhost don't apply because you wrote :

ServerName testsite

But you try to reach it with 192.168.0.36/testsite

You should try to put in your Virtualhost : ServerName 192.168.0.36/testsite

You need to edit the hosts file in every computer on lan you want access from.

path C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

I recommend using Notepad++ in administrator mode

you will need to add something like this 192.168.0.16 testsite.dev where the Ip is the local ip address of the computer that is the server and yes, i would recommend to add a ".dev" to your virtual host, after you modify your virtual host remember to restart the services.
