Why can't I access Xampp's phpmyadmin on localhost? Access is forbidden.
I can access localhost fine on Xampp with phpmyadmin on ubuntu. I can see the contents of /htdocs which I completely cleared and wrote my own for. I want to access phpmyadmin, but cannot. When loading phomyadmin, I am greeted by a 403 Error and a note advising me to configure the setting in the file httpd-xampp.conf . I looked in /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf , but have no idea what to configure. Two areas within the file seem useful in this scenario: <Directoy "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin"> AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit Order allow,deny Deny From all </Directory> and # # New XAMPP security
