New xampp security concept: Access Forbidden Error 403 - Windows 7 - phpMyAdmin
All you have to do is to edit the httpd-xampp.conf
from Require local to Require all granted in the LocationMatch tag.
That's it!
In New Xampp
All you have to do is to edit the file:
C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf
and go to Directory tag as below:
<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
and then change
Require local
To
Require all granted
in the Directory tag.
Restart the Xampp. That's it!
Require all granted seemed a bit to far for me. Looking at the documentation I used: Require ip 192.168 to allow all internal access.
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))"> Require local Require ip 192.168 ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var</LocationMatch>
