I'm desperately trying to get phpmyadmin access on xampp for linux 1.8.0 for ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I know this is a common problem, but I have tried many threads across the web, and I am still stuck getting it going.
Xampp seems to be running ok, localhost start page good, including link to phpmyadmin in the sidebar. When I follow that link I get a 403 error:
Access forbidden!
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".
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403
localhost Apache/2.4.2 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.1c PHP/5.4.4
I have tried numerous things, including amending httpd-xampp.conf, the relevant bits of which now look like: http://pastebin.com/J4f4tNVs
my /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php looks like: http://pastebin.com/5PZPXK5s
Following other instructions I changed ownership of /lampp with:
chown -Rv nobody:root ./lampp/*
Please help me!
Thanks, Matt
