Good Luck to all

<RequireAny> and </RequireAny> are not necessary.

Hi kenjis,

Thank you for the feedback.
You are correct. The <RequireAny> Container is not necessary. But it has no disadvantages anyways and prepares the whole block for adding another authentification method like authnz_ldap, auth_digest or something like that.
Thats the only reason i added it. You can leave it off if you want to

best wishes,

Hi
I don't undertand why I don't succeed to access phpmyadmin. I have tried many times and no success ...
The Xampp version is 1.8.1, and I have Linux Ubuntu 12.10, on Intel Core Duo 2 CPU 32 bits.
I have done all the modifications described in this forum on httpd-xampp.conf and I get nothing but Error 403 ... I just need to install Xampp as a local server on a stand alone machine (for testing). In my previous version of Xampp (on Ubuntu 12.04) it worked pretty well.
Is there any other file to modify ? Is there a modification of privileges that I should do ?
Thank you very much for your help

Hey navonn, try updating to the latest versions first when troubleshooting to see if this does the trick, oftentimes it does for me! If not then it 'may' be a bug, but it might not, when are you getting the 403 error exactly? Is there any other info attached? I always just leave the requierany container off
