Can't Access wamp server (localhost) on my android device

I am developing a responsive website and i want to check it on my android devices (mobile, tablet). I am trying to access my server in the mobile browser's window using my ip (192.168.1.100). I have tried various methods discussed here like access-localhost-from-mobile-phone

I have also edited my apache config file as suggested but nothing working. No matter what i do, i get Forbidden, you don't have permission to access / on this server. I am running apache 2.4

I have also tried

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

then

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require ip 255.255.255 (my subnet)
</Directory>

then

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require ip 192.168.1.100(my IPv4)
</Directory>

Nothing works for me...

Solution

  • You probably won't be able to access server via "192.168.1.100" even on your computer. Try confirming it by typing the ip address on your PC. I was running into the same issue. Then found the solution.

    Basicallly,

    "Order Allow,Deny" would not work for apache 2.4

    just use Require all granted instead.
