PHPMyadmin xampp error
===

I'm desperately trying to get phpmyadmin access on xampp for linux 1.8.0  for ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I know this is a common problem, but I have tried many threads across the web, and I am still stuck getting it going.

Xampp seems to be running ok, localhost start page good, including link to phpmyadmin in the sidebar. When I follow that link I get a 403 error:

> Access forbidden!
> 
> New XAMPP security concept:
> 
> Access to the requested directory 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
> 
> localhost Apache/2.4.2 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.1c PHP/5.4.4

I have tried numerous things, including amending httpd-xampp.conf, the relevant bits of which now look like: http://pastebin.com/J4f4tNVs

my /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php looks like: http://pastebin.com/5PZPXK5s


Following other instructions I changed ownership of /lampp with:

    chown -Rv nobody:root ./lampp/*


Please help me!

Thanks,
Matt
