Hello!
I see from searching the forum that many have experienced this problem and some have been able to resolve it. After reading the responses and going to a page that is frequently referenced [http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=50970], that I still could not understand how to correct the problem.
After typing in http://localhost I get the following 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.

<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
have also not been able to find the above words in the "httpd-xampp.conf" script following this path:
