Linux – Why can’t I access Xampp’s phptheadmin on localhost? Access is forbidden.

I can access localhost fine on Xampp with phpmyadmin on ubuntu. I can see the contents of /htdocs which I completely cleared and wrote my own for. I want to access phpmyadmin, but cannot.

When loading phomyadmin, I am greeted by a 403 Error and a note advising me to configure the setting in the file httpd-xampp.conf. I looked in /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf, but have no idea what to configure.

Two areas within the file seem useful in this scenario:

<Directoy "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Deny From all
</Directory>

and

#
# New XAMPP security concept
#

<LocationMatch "^/(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from ::1 127.0.0.0/8 \
    fc00::/7 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16 \
    fe00::/10 169.254.0.0/16

    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

In both segments I tried changing "Deny from all" to "Allow from all" and restarted Xampp with the command sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart. I received the same error page as before. I tried other solutions found online, but none have worked.

What do I have to configure to access phpmyadmin?
