I just installed xampp 1.8.0 for linux and when I opened phpmyadmin I got this error Access Forbidden!!
New XAMPP security concept:
Access to the requested objec         
        On Xampp 5.6.3 Windows Path C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf comment in this: #Require local
New XAMPP security concept ... #Require local ...
after putting "Allow from all", you need to restart your xampp to apply the setting. thanks
Hey, use these section of code.
Path for xampp is: apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf
 <LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
