'403 forbidden error' after xampp installation

  • 772

I just installed Xampp 5.6.21 (Apache 2.4.18)

I moved the installation from /opt/lampp to /home/peter/project/xampp and created a symlink from /opt/lampp to the new destination.

I can start the server:

$ sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start
Starting XAMPP for Linux 5.6.21-0...
XAMPP: Starting Apache...ok.
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok.

If I enter http://localhost/xampp in the browser I get an 403 forbidden error. Does anyone know why?

    The problem was quite simple to solve. The project dir above the xampp dir had permissions of 700. After changing it to 755 everything worked fine.
