Access to the requested object is only available f

Question

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 object is only available from the local network.

This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf".

I tried this post but with no luck. please help. I am opening it from my own PC not from any other network.

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.

Don't forget to restart your XAMPP Server

<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
        #Require local

Answer 3

after putting "Allow from all", you need to restart your xampp to apply the setting. thanks
