403 access denied - PhpMyAdmin

Hi,
I've been a XAMPP user for 2 years now and it has been working very good.

Yesterday when I tried to access PhpMyAdmin / http://localhost/phpmyadmin I got an 403 error for the first time, and since yesterday It has been the same.

1. I have followed these instructions, viewtopic.php?f=16&t=32503 but still no luck.
2. I don't have any .htaccess file in my root directory.
3. I haven't change anything since I have installed XAMPP, this just came up.

Any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Are there any clues in the server's error log file?
xampp\apache\logs\error.log

Right,
But there is no folder with that name inside xampp, should it be there?

should it be there?

Sure. It's part of every XAMPP installation.

I installed XAMPP on a Virtual PC, copied the phpmyadmin folder from there to my own PC and it didn't solve the problem.
I downloaded latest PMA package from their own website and unpacked it under xampp/htdocs, then copied the config file from phpmyadmin that comes with xampp and put it inside htdocs/phpmyadmin (the new phpmyadmin). now it works.

Thanks for your time.

you placed the phpmyadmin folder inside the htdocs folder ?

I wouldn't do that if I was you. In the original setup it belongs in the xampp folder.

C://xampp/phpmyadmin

not

C://xampp/htdocs/phpmyadmin

Might not be bad but I just wouldn't do what you have done.

I did that fisr time and still the same error.
My server is a private/closed one, and for me is no security risk to have it there.

Have a nice time.

I think maybe your error 403 is the same as everyone elses

theres a topic above this one with the fix have you tried it ? I know you say its all safe and closed but its still not right is it. but it's your machine. :) have a nice day


EDIT:

1) open the file "\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf" in a text editor
2) replace "Allow from localhost" with "Allow from 127.0.0.1" (2 times)
3) save the file
4) restart Apache
