Weird Browser Problem
Sunday night I was able to log in to my local version of a web site with Chrome, IE, FF, and Safari. Then I had to reboot. Now I cannot get to that site with Chrome, IE, or Safari. I use Wampserver. I can get to other local sites just fine, and I can access this one site with FF with no trouble. The error I'm getting is 403. Any ideas?
The 403 error appears in your browser windows? Have you checked the apache error log for more information?

Yes, it appears instead of the front page. Apache doesn't show anything. It's an HTTP site.

Have you checked the apache error log for more information?
Did you clear all the browser caches? Is it possible FF is loading a cached version?

Check your access log too. 403s will go there, but may not be in the error log, as that depends on what you have the LogLevel directive in Apache set at, which defaults at warning. Jamie Holly http://hollyit.net On 1/13/2015 12:15 PM, Nancy Wichmann wrote:

Sounds like a Apache configuration or htaccess problem. Have you tried accessing a static file, like CHANGELOG.txt or something in the files directory? FYI - I used WAMPSERVER for years and always had little problems similar to this. I dumped it and went to EasyPHP last year and haven't looked back, although I've been moving more and more to vagrant for the bigger client sites.

Is the site http or https. If https, certificates?

I use wampserver and i'll occasionally have trouble because I use one word domains, like 'http://giant'. that gets confused with search terms. I'd recommend adding echo $_GET['q']; exit; in index.php to see the address that the code is looking at and see if that matches what you're expecting. Sounds like there might be a problem in the .htaccess conversion. -- -Don Pickerel- Fane Software On 1/13/2015 12:11 PM, Borwick, James Bryce wrote:

I ran into one package that refused to accept a one word domain, I forget which package it is. It is best to setup using two word domains such as http://giant.local/ which helps with the standardization of URL.

I highly recommend: http://mayakron.altervista.org/wikibase/show.php?id=AcrylicHome It's a DNS proxy for Windows (open source) that lets you create wildcard host entries as well as your own tlds. You can simply define: 127.0.0.1 *.local And you're all set. Create any .local VirtualHost and it connects. Easy to install and saves countless headaches.

I changed the proxy setting for Chrome and got going again - in all browsers. I still don't understand why one site in a multisite was having trouble, but at least I can work now. From: Jamie Holly <hovercrafter@earthlink.net>

Among the other suggestions since this is Windows it could be ACL issues. Are you sure the service is started correctly for the httpd?
