Answer 1

I newer version of xampp you may use another method first open your httpd-xampp.conf file and find the string "phpmyadmin" using ctrl+F command (Windows). and then replace this code

Alias /phpmyadmin "D:/server/phpMyAdmin/"
<Directory "D:/server/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Require local
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

with this

Alias /phpmyadmin "D:/server/phpMyAdmin/"
<Directory "D:/server/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Require all granted
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

Don't Forget to Restart your Xampp.

Answer 2

open your http.conf file

vim /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf

Comment "Deny from all" in the following section,

#
# New XAMPP security concept
#
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
        Order deny,allow
       #Deny from all
        Allow from ::1 127.0.0.0/8 \
                fc00::/7 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16 \
                fe80::/10 169.254.0.0/16

        ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

Edit:
Try to add "Allow from all" before "ErrorDocument" line. Hope it helps.

Answer 3

on osx log into your terminal and execute

sudo nano /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf

and replace

<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Require local
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

with this

<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

and then restart apache and mysql

or use this command

 /opt/lampp/xampp restart

If you see below error message, when try into phpyAdmin:

New XAMPP security concept:
Access to the requested directory is only available from the local network.
This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf".

You can do next (for XAMPP, deployed on the UNIX-system): You can try change configuration for <Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">

# vi /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf

and change security settings to

#LoadModule perl_module        modules/mod_perl.so

<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

First - comment pl module, second - change config for node Directory. After it, you should restart httpd daemon

# /opt/lampp/xampp restart

Now you can access http://[server_ip]/phpmyadmin/

Adding to Sekar answer

Don't forget to restart your XAMPP Server

Update the accepted answer :

now you need to comment Require local

#
# New XAMPP security concept
#
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
        #Require local
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var

Answer 6

Nothing worked for me but following thing was awesome:

1) Open

httpd-xampp.conf

which is at

/opt/lampp/etc/extra/

2) Find <Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">

3) Now just add Require all granted before

4) So the code will look like this
<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin"> AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit Order allow,deny Allow from all Require all granted </Directory>

5) Now finally Restart the xampp with this command /opt/lampp/lampp restart

That's it and you are Done!

It also work with xampp. :)
