Error 403 for phpmyadmin [Solved]

[LeBon]

I had exactly the same problem. So I followed this thread. The "Require all granted" command was the solution. Thanks to dookan and JonB
for the contribution.

Well, thanks for all the support JonB, I'm appreciated!
And, good luck with any future releases.

I was searching for this as I had the exact same problem. I tried the OP's solution first and it worked a charm. Thanks

In case this makes it more clear (especially for beginners), the steps I took (After backing up the original httpd-xampp.conf) :

In a terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo gedit /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf

In gedit, Find:
<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">

And add the line to the <Directory>:
Require all granted

After this, the section reads:

Code: Select all

<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Save the file, close gedit, then back at the terminal:

Code: Select all

/opt/lampp/lampp restart

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ now correctly loads.

I also found another solution.

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp security

I wasn't able to enter localhost/phpmyadmin neither localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php

At the moment, everything works fine.

Dont use this code, its allow access from all..
Just update your httpd-xampp.conf.
Replace the End with:

Code: Select all

#
# New XAMPP security concept
#
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
   <RequireAny>
    Require ip ::1 127.0.0.0/8 \
      fc00::/7 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16 \
      fe80::/10 169.254.0.0/16
   </RequireAny>
   ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

Than restart your lampp with:

Code: Select all

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

I think iBaf is referring to these directives written by MrJxN - When he says

Dont use this code, its allow access from all..

Code: Select all

<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
</Directory>
