can anyone help with a following issue: I am using wamp to run projects in my chrome browser. after adding a newAlias which points to my project directory c:/dev/myProject I am

Answer 1

I've updated WAMP from 2.2.22 to 2.4.9 and found that new aliases didn't work (same error message as yours).

Checking the default aliases like phpmyadmin, I've found this:

Alias /phpmyadmin "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin4.1.14/"

# to give access to phpmyadmin from outside 
# replace the lines
#
# Require local
#
# by
#
# Require all granted
#


   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride all
  
    Require local
  
  
    Order Deny,Allow
      Deny from all
      Allow from localhost ::1 127.0.0.1
    
  php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 128M
  php_admin_value post_max_size 128M
  php_admin_value max_execution_time 360
  php_admin_value max_input_time 360

If you see the contents of the file you'll notice the and conditionals. So I've changed my alias .conf file from:

Alias /svn "c:/work/website-svn/"

    AllowOverride all
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all

to:

Alias /svn "c:/work/website-svn/" 


    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews

    Require local

That solved my problem, I hope it solves yours.
