Hi
I desperately need your help. i'm at my wit's end. i've successfully installed xampp version 1.8.1 on windows 7 (64-bit), logged on to phpmyadmin and imported bssnet file, but with only 3 queries executed. but instead of a control panel installer showing up on my firefox browser after filling in http://10.0.0.3/xampp/1/install/index.php says, i get this error 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
41.30.13.62
Apache/2.4.3 (Win32) OpenSSL/1.0.1c PHP/5.4.7

Hi,

Don't save your own webapplications at the \xampp\htdocs\xampp\ folder. That folder is just for the XAMPP internal Administration Page and restricted in a special way.
Create an own folder inside of \xampp\htdocs\

best wishes,
Altrea
