something changed in httpd.conf XAMPP 1.8.1
If you copy your working "httpd-vhosts.conf" from 1.8.0 to your 1.8.1 installion, may be you'll get the error 403 - access denied.
httpd.conf (XAMPP 1.8.1) line 201
- Code: Select all
<Directory />
AllowOverride none
Require all denied
</Directory>
httpd.conf (XAMPP 1.8.0) line 201
- Code: Select all
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
After replacing the 1.8.1 <Directory> by the code of 1.8.0 it works fine for me.
