Xampp Access Forbidden php

Question

I'm a windows user. I've been using xampp for quite a while but suddenly none of my .php files are working now! I get this error message:

---

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/2.4.4 (Win32) OpenSSL/0.9.8y PHP/5.4.16

---

I can see the list of my .php files in localhost/Practice (Practice is the folder where I've saved my files) The file even opens whenever I click on it. But when I click on any 'submit' button inside any of my files, it gives this error. Please help! I updated xampp from 1.8.1 to 1.8.2 but still the same problem persists!

Try with this code below, add it in your virtual host config. Add this lines to httpd-vhosts.conf file:

<Directory "c:/<path-to-projects>/">         Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews         AllowOverride all         Order Deny,Allow         Allow from all         Require all granted </Directory> 

I fixed the same issue by this way. Hope it helps.

Note:

after changes please test it in incognito because you redirected by cache
