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.
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 \

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.
