Hey guys! I am new here to this forum. Anyway, I am here because I am trying to display a random image on my testing site.
My image files are located in the following:
F:/xampp/htdocs/xampp/justtryinoutsomephp/Images
The reason I put in the "F" instead of "C" is because I am actually using the USB Lite version of xampp.
Anyway, my images are not displaying because of this new so called "New Xampp Security Concept." I've been doing lots of researching and experimenting for a few days and it came to the point where I just said screw it and post this to the forum.
On the error 403 page, it said:
"Access forbidden!
New XAMPP security concept:
Access to the requested object 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."
That's what I've been doing is tinkling with the "httpd-xampp.conf" file. On one of the forums, it said that you have to restart the xampp server in order for the changes to take effect. I actually went the simple and easy way and just turned off the server using the xampp off file and turned it back on using the xampp on file as well. Didn't work..... So what I am wondering now is is there a way to restart the xampp server without using the xampp off and xampp on files or what adjustments do I need to make in the config file? Thanks for your help and advice guys!
