Accessing Wamp 3.1.0 from other devices

Question

I have Wamp Server 3.1.0 installed on my Windows computer.

I am trying to access my sites from other devices, connected are connected on the same network.

I have searched online. And I have followed tutorials, but nothing matches what I need. The closest I got was: How to enable local network users to access my WAMP sites?

My httpd-vhosts.conf looks like this:

# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName localhost
  ServerAlias localhost
  DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
  <Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
    Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require local granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName laravel.dev
    DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/projects/forum/public"
    <Directory  "c:/wamp/projects/forum/public/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require local granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName test.dev
    DocumentRoot "c:/wamp/projects/test/public"
    <Directory  "c:/wamp/projects/test/public/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require local granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

My expectation at this point is I can go onto another device and access my Wamp Server 3.1.0 and my individual projects.

Unfortunately I'm hit with an Error 500 saying:

Forbiddon

You do not have permission to access / on this server.
_______________________________________________________________
Apache/2.4.27 (Win64) PHP/7.1.9 Server at 192.168.1.21 Port 80

I have double checked my ipconfig and IPv4 Address matches the IP in the Error 500 code: 192.168.1.21

I did notice that the Apache version and PHP version match the versions I am using. So I know I'm accessing the server. Just not sure of the Error 500 code.

I have tried accessing my projects from these URLs:

And none of them work.

Thanks in advance.

Change Require local granted to Require all granted, if not solved, Try to edit httpd-vhosts.conf file like this:

# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName localhost
  ServerAlias localhost
  DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
  <Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
    Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require local
    Require ip 192.168.1
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

try access your ip computer from other device, for example your computer ip is 192.168.1.4, if you can access this ip, then create your virtual host.

if you can not access that ip, try fixing it so ip can be accessed. then create a virtual hosts.
