wampserver php site only works on local machine (index.htm works on all devices over LAN)

Question

Wampserver PHP 7.4.26 , Apache 2.4.51, mysql 8.0.27

Having looked at other questions on stack overflow I am now able to access index.htm in www folder or www/project1 folder via any device on LAN.

However, index.php only works on local machine. When trying to access index.php on another device over LAN, the following message is indicated:

"This site can’t be reached

localhost refused to connect.

Try:

Checking the connection ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"

Here is httpd-vhosts.conf:

# Virtual Hosts
#
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName localhost
  ServerAlias localhost
  DocumentRoot "${INSTALL_DIR}/www"
  <Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/">
    Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>



<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName famtree
    ServerAlias www.tree
    DocumentRoot "c:/wamp64/www/tree"
    <Directory  "c:/wamp64/www/tree/">
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Please advise. Thanks.

Update:

An index.php with the following code does work:

    <?php
    // program to tell php version using ftp/sftp client
     phpinfo();
    ?>

However my website index.php dosent work:

    <?php
