xampp 1.8.0 phpmyadmin access forbidden[solved]

Prolem
after upgrade to 1.8.0 from 1.7.7 under Ubuntu 12.04, i am not able to open PHPMyAdmin.
Even though i am on localhost i get this error message:
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.

Error 403

I was searching for this as I had the exact same problem. I tried the OP's solution first and it worked a charm. Thanks 

In case this makes it more clear (especially for beginners), the steps I took (After backing up the original httpd-xampp.conf) :

In a terminal:

CODE: SELECT ALL

sudo gedit /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf

In gedit, Find: 


And add the line to the :
Require all granted

After this, the section reads:

CODE: SELECT ALL


    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted

Save the file, close gedit, then back at the terminal:

CODE: SELECT ALL

/opt/lampp/lampp restart

http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ now correctly loads.

How To Get Rid Of Internal System Error Apport Popups In Ubuntu

http://www.webupd8.org/2012/06/how-to-get-rid-of-internal-system-error.html

Apport is a debugging tool that automatically generates crash reports. In the final Ubuntu 12.04 release, Apport seems to be enabled by default (unlike in the previous Ubuntu versions) and at least on my system, I keep getting "Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error" popups, which can't be reported, a few times a day (Apport bug already reported).

To get rid of these annoying Apport popups, you can disable Apport, especially since most of the time there are no visible errors / crashes anyway. Sure, this won't solve the actual errors, but at least you won't get those frequent Apport "internal system error" dialogs anymore.

To disable Apport, you need to edit "/etc/default/apport" with a text editor such as Gedit (as root):

sudo gedit /etc/default/apport

and change "enabled" from "1" to "0", then save the file.

You can always re-enable it later on if you want, by changing "enabled" from "0" back to "1", or you can enable Apport temporarily, using the following command:

sudo service apport start force_start=1
