I get Access Forbidden (Error 403) when setting up new alias

by

I just found the same issue with Aliases on a Windows install of Xampp.

To solve the 403 error:

<Directory "C:/Your/Directory/With/No/Trailing/Slash">
   Require all granted
</Directory>

Alias /dev "C:/Your/Directory/With/No/Trailing/Slash"

The default Xampp set up should be fine with just this. Some people have experienced issues with a deny placed on the root directory so flipping out the directory tag to:

<Directory "C:/Your/Directory/With/No/Trailing/Slash">
   Allow from all
   Require all granted
</Directory>

Would help with this but the current version of Xampp (v1.8.1 at the time of writing) doesn’t require it.

As for op’s issue with port 80 Xampp includes a handy Netstat button to discover what’s using your ports. Fire that off and fix the conflict, I imagine it could have been IIS but can’t be sure.
