[greenelfx]

Locate the following:


Open the file, control+f, locate

<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
..
..
</Directory>

Replace that block with

<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride all

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #

#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Other possible errors:
Search for "ServerName"
It should be:

ServerName localhost:80

Search for "<Directory />"
It should be:

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

What does your .htaccess file look like ?

[greenelfx]

I tried this but still no fix :P

Some CMS's, such as MapleSyrup, have a bad .htaccess, which causes a 403/500 error. Post the contents of your .htaccess file here (or delete it altogether).

Edit: Fixed zydee's problem. See the edit, under "other problems."

Look for Deny from All, change it to Allow from All. Then restart the services.
