XAMPP: Phpmyadmin doesn't work with FastCGI

Question

I have a local installation of XAMPP. For certain reasons (Java-Php-Bridge) I have to use FastCGI. So I set it up using this guide: http://www3.umoncton.ca/dashboard/docs/use-php-fcgi.html

This worked fine but now I cannot access http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ The error is:

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".

Here is my "httpd-xampp.conf" file:

#
# XAMPP settings

<IfModule env_module>
    SetEnv MIBDIRS "C:/xampp/php/extras/mibs"
    SetEnv MYSQL_HOME "\\xampp\\mysql\\bin"
    SetEnv OPENSSL_CONF "C:/xampp/apache/bin/openssl.cnf"
    SetEnv PHP_PEAR_SYSCONF_DIR "\\xampp\\php"
    SetEnv PHPRC "\\xampp\\php"
    SetEnv TMP "\\xampp\\tmp"
</IfModule>

Does anyone have an idea?

I can`t provide a solution but I can reassure you that phpMyAdmin works with fast-cgi on my machine. Have you tried 127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin ? — maxhb

Add this to your httpd-xampp.conf

Options ExecCGI

Alias /phpmyadmin "D:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/"
    <Directory "D:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
    Options ExecCGI
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
