I am using a local install of Wordpress for offline development on a Windows 10 machine, with WAMP on the server side.

This morning I have moved the folder containing the wordpress from

c:\users\username\wordpress

to

c:\users\username\otherfolder\wordpress

and I have modified vhosts.conf accordingly from

  <VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot "c:\users\username\wordpress"
    ServerName test
      <Directory "c:\users\username\wordpress">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
      </Directory>
  </VirtualHost>

to

  <VirtualHost *>
    DocumentRoot "c:\users\username\otherfolder\wordpress"
    ServerName test
      <Directory "c:\users\username\otherfolder\wordpress">
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
      </Directory>
  </VirtualHost>

However now when accessing the local site I am trapped in a 403 error "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.". This error occurs both on front side or in the back side (wp-admin).

This is the content of .htaccess

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Do I need to change something else in the db using phpmyadmin? Or some data in the permalinks needs tweaks?

I have discovered the problem. Documentroot in apache has changed, so updating this has fixed the problem
