WAMP error: Forbidden You don’t have permission to access /phptheadmin/ on this server

Your command does not work because the redirection is performed by your shell which does not have the permission to write to /root/test.out. The redirection of the output is not performed by sudo.

There are multiple solutions:

• Run a shell with sudo and give the command to it by using the -c option:

  sudo sh -c 'ls -hal /root/ > /root/test.out'
  

• Create a script with your commands and run that script with sudo:

  #!/bin/sh
  ls -hal /root/ > /root/test.out
  

  Run sudo ls.sh. See Steve Bennett's answer if you don't want to create a temporary file.

• Launch a shell with sudo -s then run your commands:

  [nobody@so]$ sudo -s
  [root@so]# ls -hal /root/ > /root/test.out
  [root@so]# ^D
  [nobody@so]$
  

• Use sudo tee (if you have to escape a lot when using the -c option):

  sudo ls -hal /root/ | sudo tee /root/test.out > /dev/null
  

  The redirect to /dev/null is needed to stop tee from outputting to the screen. To append instead of overwriting the output file (>>), use tee -a or tee --append (the last one is specific to GNU coreutils).

Thanks go to Jd, Adam J. Forster and Johnathan for the second, third and fourth solutions.

The access to your Apache server is forbidden from addresses other than 127.0.0.1 in httpd.conf (Apache's config file) :

<Directory "c:/wamp/www/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride all
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

The same goes for your PHPMyAdmin access, the config file is phpmyadmin.conf :

<Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.4.5/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
        Order Deny,Allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

You can set them to allow connections from all IP addresses like follows :

AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
