Unable to setup a local environment with WAMP? (Laravel Framework)

I have been looking for information on google, laravel forums and youtube all day but no luck, hopefully someone can help.

I am currently trying to setup a website which was built by a web design company on my local machine but I it doesn't seem to be letting me do so.

At the moment the things I have done to get the website running locally are:

  1. Installed a WAMP server
  2. Changed the httpd.conf file to include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
  3. Changed the httpd-vhosts.conf file to include the following:

DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\ryl\public"

ServerName rateyourlecturer.dev

  1. Edited my drivers\etc\hosts.txt file to include the following:

127.0.0.1 localhost

127.0.0.1 rateyourlecturer.dev

But when I go and type rateyourlecturer.dev into the address bar the following error message appears "403 Forbidden - You don't have permission to access / on this server."

If anyone can help me solve this problem I will be really grateful.

DocumentRoot C:/wamp/www/laravel/public ServerName xxxxx.dev

5.then go C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc folder and open <<=== hosts ===>> file then paste 127.0.0.1 xxxxx.dev

I simply added these codes in my httpd.conf, and it worked well:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot "C:/wamp/www/project_name/public"
ServerName project_name.dev
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "C:/wamp/www/project_name/public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

More information, here (it's for laravel 3, but vhost solution works for l4 etc, too)
