在URL中使用IP地址而不是localhost时如何解决WAMP页面访问

Question

I have recently built my local test server WAMP by using Windows 7 Pro 64bit OS. I have also chosen to use the 32bit programs (Apache, MySQL & PHP) so my WAMP spec would be x86 V11 binary Thread Safe (TS). I want to keep all development related items into the C:\\dev folder or directory, so my file system looks like this:

C:\dev\bin\apache24\
C:\dev\bin\MySQL5.6\
C:\dev\bin\PHP5.6\
C:\dev\www\phpMysqlAdmin
C:\dev\www\HollyGhost.com\login.php

Settings: my.ini

# Path to the installation directory.
basedir = "C:/dev/bin/MySQL5.6/"

# Path to the database data directory
 datadir = "C:/dev/bin/MySQL5.6/data/"

# The TCP/IP Port the MySQL Server will listen on
port = 3306

# Server Id.
server_id = 1

C:\Winows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost

If I need to view the web site: http://localhost/HollyGhost.com/login.php the site comes up without any issues and works great; but if I rewrite the URL on the same box to: http://127.0.0.1/HollyGhost.com/login.php the site renders the login page but I cannot log into the system. All I am getting when I attempt to log in is the login page keeps refreshing. I tried to do the same from another PC and I am getting the same result. I need to do this so I can test other devices locally.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I am not sure if this issue is a permission problem based on the fact that MySQL data is stored in the \\MySQl5.6\\data directory. If so, how do I go about fixing it.

Answer 1

The problem was in the Windows Firewall -> Advance setting -> Inbound Rules. The Inbound Rules for MySQL Profile was set to Private and the Program was set to Any. I change Profile to "Domain, Private" and set Program to point to MySQL installation directory "MySQL.exe" this works for me after rebooting all network devices and PCs.
