Why does WAMP says this:"Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server."?

So I installed WAMP on Windows 7 and port-forwarded my Privat IP and I tried using my Public IP, but no luck.It's just giving me this error: Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.I tested it out with localhost and 127.0.0.1 and it worked, but with my Public Ip it dosen't.Please Help me!

To allow your Apache server to be accessed from the internet you need to tell Apache that it is allowed to accept connections from any IP address

Edit httpd.conf using the wampmanager menus links.

Find this snippet in the config file

#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
Allow from localhost

And as you are using Apache 2.4.x change it to 

#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
Require all granted

It is because of the settings in you httpd.conf file. To correct the problem, follow the steps-

  1. Click on the wamp icon.
  2. Go to, Apache -> httpd.conf
  3. Now search for "Controls who can get stuff from this server."
  4. See below that, there should be a line "Deny from all".
  5. Change it to "Allow from all".
