New XAMPP security concept Problem in Ubuntu


When you upgrade your XAMPP to 1.8.0 or install XAMPP it you can get this type of error message.
"
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".
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403localhost
Apache/2.4.2 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.1c PHP/5.4.4
"


I also attach screenshot of it.



Now to remove this error open your "httpd-xampp.conf" as stated above in error by typing following command in terminal [Ctrl + Alt + t].


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


Now make the two changes in that file as given in the following screenshots.


Original File :









After Changes :






Now restart your XAMPP by executing following command in terminal


   sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart


Now your phpmyadmin is working properly.
