FAQ: How to fix error 403: access forbidden for phpmyadmin in wampserver?
The Problem:
PhpMyadmin works fine on localhost but accessing it over a network gives error 403: Access Forbidden.
Reason:
Reason is pretty clear – phpmyadmin is not configured to be accessed over a network. Permission to access it over network is not given.
Solution:
Locate the file phpmyadmin.conf in your wamp installation. If you have wampserver version 2 or higher, this file can be found at C:\wamp\alias\phpmyadmin.conf (Of course assuming that you installed wamp in C:\wamp). For earlier wamp versions this file is at C:\wamp\Apache2\conf\alias\phpmyadmin.conf.
Once found,open this file. Contents of the file will be like the following:
Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.1.3.1/"
# to give access to phpmyadmin from outside
# replace the lines
#
# Order Deny,Allow
# Deny from all
# Allow from 127.0.0.1
#
# by
#
# Order Allow,Deny
# Allow from all
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride all
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
As it is clearly written in the file itself, replace the line Deny from all (second line from the bottom )with Allow from all. Save the file, restart apache and you are done.
PhpMyadmin can be accessed from outside now.

If you have reinstalled WAMP, then check the first line of the file. The line may contain wrong folder name.

For those whom it is not working: please make sure that the server is “online” also.
To do this click your WAMP menu and look at the bottom. If it says “Put Online” then it is offline. Go ahead and click it.
This, along with the changes above should allow access from the outside.

yeah,the fast solution is as this,learning from upside as well as my practice:
1st.search for httpd.conf under the install path,get C:\wamp\bin\apache\Apache2.2.21\conf;
2st.search for key word “Deny” and change it to “Allow”;
3st.Now restart all services,and you must have seen the problem been solved,enjoy~ -
