]New XAMPP security concept - Cannot Get Rid of this Message

[wp1]

Hello!

I see from searching the forum that many have experienced this problem and some have been able to resolve it. After reading the responses and going to a page that is frequently referenced [http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=50970], that I still could not understand how to correct the problem.

After typing in http://localhost I get the following message:

------
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

I have not been able to find the following words in the xxamp scripts.
<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">

have also not been able to find the above words in the "httpd-xampp.conf" script following this path:
/xampp/apache/conf/extra

What am I doing wrong? Help!!

Hi wp1,

Please show us the contents of your
\xampp\apache\logs\access.log
\xampp\apache\logs\error.log
files of that specific request.

what is the output if you ping localhost in the commandline?

best wishes,
Altrea
