I'm using Xampp 1.7.3a on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit.
For my Uni coursework, I do a lot of HTML, PHP, MySQL and generally speaking, they're all working fine.
But there is one minor issue I wish to resolve:
I created public_html folder under $Home and put all the files I'm developing in there, and then created its shortcut in /opt/lampp/htdocs so I could do http://localhost/$User (just like at my Uni), but it doesn't work! It keeps giving me the following error msg:
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object. It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403

I've reinstalled Xampp from the scratch and tried again but doesn't work.
I find this really frustrating because I did the same on my other laptop and it works! There was no problem.
So anybody who knows the workaround, please help me resolve this issue.
I would be greatly appreciated and thankful
Thank you very much.
