XAMPP server access error is daunting me for days.
I have been working on this for 3 days without any luck. I have tried everything mentioned in this topic:
I stop and restart "Apache" and "MySQL" after doing all the changes one by one that are mentioned in this topic. Yet I still get this annoying warning down below.
Access forbidden!
You don't have permission to access the requested object.It is either read-protected or not readable by the server.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403
localhost
Apache/2.4.39 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1b PHP/7.3.4
What is the solution to get around this in 2019?
Thanks.
I get this error in the error.log
