The solution to the error: Laragon PHPMyAdmin 403 Forbidden. You don’t have permission to access this resource.

The problem:

If you are using Laragon for Windows, when you try to navigate to phpMyAdmin using the following link:

http://localhost/phpmyadmin

you will then get the following error message in a browser:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.

The reason:

The reason behind this is that when you install Laragon, by default it does not actually include phpMyAdmin web application for database management. So you have to install it first.

The solution:

There are 2 ways how you can solve this issue. The difficult method is to manually install phpMyAdmin and configure its setting but the quickest and easiest way is to use the quick installer provided by laragon to add phpMyAdmin web application. To do the easiest method, you need to navigate to the following menu from laragon:

Righ click on Laragon icon then click Tools → Quick add → *phpmyadmin.

When you are done, you can open phpMyAdmin using URL at http://localhost/phpmyadmin. The username is root and by default, there is no password for this root (so leave the password field blank).



Congratulation you can now manage your databases via phpMyAdmin.
