xampp wont start

[ron102]

Ive just put in xampp 1.74 and i get this:
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

Well, actually, ron - that means something entirely different:

- XAMPP IS running and correctly, AND it has prevented you from exposing an unprotected server.

Here's an explanation of what you encountered -

THANKS for proving the developers point, and being 'my poster child'.

Good Luck
