If you are using XAMPP 1.8.3 Navigate to file httpd-xampp.conf and search for " # # New XAMPP security concept # server-status | server-info))">

     Require local
     ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
     

"

Cut this code and save it somewhere for later use i.e restoring this feature( remember removing this code makes your computer vulnerable). Save changes on httpd-xampp.conf, restart services on XAMPP and that's it.
