Connect to localhost from another computer in network

Question

I have installed WAMP on one computer, and I want to connect to the phpmyadmin from another one. When I type, in a browser, 192.168.1.2/localhost i got following message:

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

I have changed this line in Apache:

<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all * from deny from all
</Directory>

How can I fix this?

You should try it without localhost. So if you access phpmyadmin on localhost as localhost:8080/phpmyadmin then you should do 192.168.1.2:8080/phpmyadmin

UPDATE:

Change the file content

c:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf

to following:

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
        Order Deny,Allow
        Allow from all
</Directory>

I still got same message. (Windows firewall is turned off on both computers) – Sasha Feb 09 '12 at 09:52
Could you try writing only `Allow from all` and remove the `* from deny from all` and then restart your server? – Pulkit Goyal Feb 09 '12 at 09:54
I have put * from deny from all to show what i have replaced (sorry for confusion) – Sasha Feb 09 '12 at 09:56
Did you also change the phpmyadmin.conf? – Pulkit Goyal Feb 09 '12 at 10:03
I didn't know about that config file :O. phpmyadmin is now working :), but localhost is still forbidden? Any idea why? – Sasha Feb 09 '12 at 10:10
Did you try to access `192.168.1.2:8080`? – Pulkit Goyal Feb 09 '12 at 10:16
I have tried, and I got following message: `This webpage is not available. The connection to 192.168.1.2 was interrupted.` – Sasha Feb 09 '12 at 10:28

I changed phpmyadmin.conf and Appache's httpd.conf to

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all

and then restarted server. It worked quite well.

Thanks
