WAMP Apache resolves to localhost but not IP address
Hi,
I'm running WAMP 2.4 on a Win 7 machine and while it resolves to localhost if I type the IP address into the browser I get 404 not found.
I also can't see Apache from other machines on the LAN although when I scan the port it shows:
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found..Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2013 12:08:19 GMT..Server: Apache/2.4.4 (Win32) PHP/5.4.16..Connection: close..Conten
So it's definitely spotting Apache on 80
In my http.conf I've added "Allow from all" to
DocumentRoot "e:/wamp/www"
<Directory "e:/wamp/www">
/~~~~~
</Directory>
and Apache is listening on 80 rather than a specific IP.
My Windows Firewall is off.
Have I missed anything really basic?
Thanks.
Ok...
I've just change my VirtualHost setting from:
# Digital Essence Vhost configurations
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin localhost.admin
DocumentRoot "E:\wamp\www"
ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>
to
# Digital Essence Vhost configurations
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin localhost.admin
DocumentRoot "E:\wamp\www"
ServerName 192.168.19.15
</VirtualHost>
and I can now see it both locally and on the lan.

I managed to fix this but can't remember how as it's been more than a few weeks and my goldfish brain has a terrible memory.
I'm going to award you the points anyway as you took the time to reply which I appreciate.
