Can not access intranet site with IP address or hostname. Local host works fine (Apache)
I have installed WAMP on Windows 2003. Every thing seems to be working fine except for one thing. I can access my website with the url http://localhost/Mysite and http://127.0.0.1/mysite
When I try to use the IP (http://198.162.1.55/mysite or hostname (http://hostname/mysite) I get an error that says:
You are not authorized to view this page
You might not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials you supplied.
I can also not access the website from any other computers on my domain but I guess that is related to the same problem that I can not use the IP or hostname.
Is there configuration that needs to be done to Apache so that I can use the Ip and host name or is this a network configuration issue? I have disabled my firewall but I have the same problem.
Thank you

I have found the problem. It was like you suggested. I found the problem in the Apache deny/allow statements.
Thanks for your help!

NameVirtualHost 127.0.0.1
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\mysite"
ServerName servername.local
</VirtualHost>
I have also tried:
NameVirtualHost 192.168.1.5
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.5>
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\mysite"
ServerName servername.local
</VirtualHost>
My httpd.conf is as follow:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
I still get the message:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Can you see anything that I have not configured correctly?
