Did you change any thing on the virtual-host before it stop working ?

Add this line to xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

<VirtualHost localhost:80>
    DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
    ServerAdmin localhost
    <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

For me it was solved instantly by the following   Going to C  xampp apache conf extra Editing inside the file httpd-xampp conf Edit the file as follows    find the following lines by cont f   Alias  phpmyadmin  C  xampp phpMyAdmin    lt Directory  C  xampp phpMyAdmin  gt      AllowOverride AuthConfig     Require local     ErrorDocument 403  error XAMPP FORBIDDEN html var  lt  Directory gt    only change  local ----  all granted  so it becomes like this  Alias  phpmyadmin  C  xampp phpMyAdmin    lt Directory  C  xampp phpMyAdmin  gt      AllowOverride AuthConfig     Require all granted     ErrorDocument 403  error XAMPP FORBIDDEN html var  lt  Directory gt    After this the localhost will stop showing the error and will show admin panel   I found this solution in a video here  https   www youtube com watch v MvYyEPaNNhE

following steps might help any one  check error log of apache2 check folder permission is it accessible   if not set it add following in vhost file  lt Directory  quot c    quot  gt  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride all Order Deny Allow Allow from all Require all granted  last but might save time like mine check folder name case sensitive  quot Pubic quot  is different form  quot public quot   you put in vhosts file and actual name  thanks

For XAMPP on Mac  sudo chmod -R 0777  Applications XAMPP xamppfiles htdocs myprojectname   NOTE  remember to change  myprojectname  to your actual project name  Also  make sure the project is on the root directory of htdocs or change the path accordingly

I got the same error because somehow deleted the index php and accessing the folder without index php gave same error

Try with this code below  add it in your virtual host config  Add this lines to httpd-vhosts conf file    lt Directory  c   lt path-to-projects gt    gt          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews         AllowOverride all         Order Deny Allow         Allow from all         Require all granted  lt  Directory gt    I fixed the same issue by this way  Hope it helps   Note   after changes please test it in incognito because you redirected by cache

I had this problem after moving the htdocs folder to outside the xampp folder  If you do this then you need to change the document root in httpd conf  See https   stackoverflow com a 1414 3543329

In my case I exported Drupal instance from server to localhost on XAMPP  It obviously did not do justice to the file and directory ownership and Apache was throwing the above error   This is the ownership of files and directories initially     To give read permissions to my files and execute permission to my directories I could do so that all users can read  write and execute   sudo chmod 777 -R   but that would not be the ideal solution coz this would be migrated back to server and might end up with a security loophole   A script is given in this blog  https   www drupal org node 244924     bin bash    Help menu print help     cat  lt  lt -HELP This script is used to fix permissions of a Drupal installation you need to provide the following arguments     1  Path to your Drupal installation    2  Username of the user that you want to give files directories ownership    3  HTTPD group name  defaults to www-data for Apache    Usage   sudo  bash   0      --drupal path PATH --drupal user USER --httpd group GROUP Example   sudo  bash   0      --drupal path  usr local apache2 htdocs --drupal user john --httpd group www-data HELP exit 0    if     id -u     0    then   printf                                         n    printf    Error  You must run this with sudo or root  n    printf                                         n    print help   exit 1 fi  drupal path   1    drupal user   2  httpd group    3 -www-data      Parse Command Line Arguments while        -gt 0    do   case   1  in     --drupal path            drupal path    1                     --drupal user            drupal user    1                     --httpd group            httpd group    1                     --help  print help                printf                                                              n        printf    Error  Invalid argument  run --help for valid arguments    n        printf                                                              n        exit 1   esac   shift done  if   -z    drupal path            -d    drupal path  sites           -f    drupal path  core modules system system module     amp  amp      -f    drupal path  modules system system module     then   printf                                                n    printf    Error  Please provide a valid Drupal path    n    printf                                                n    print help   exit 1 fi  if   -z    drupal user             id -un    drupal user   2 gt   dev null        drupal user       then   printf                                        n    printf    Error  Please provide a valid user    n    printf                                        n    print help   exit 1 fi  cd  drupal path printf  Changing ownership of all contents of    drupal path    n user   gt     drupal user    t group   gt     httpd group   n  chown -R   drupal user    httpd group     printf  Changing permissions of all directories inside    drupal path   to  rwxr-x---     n  find   -type d -exec chmod u rwx g rx o           printf  Changing permissions of all files inside    drupal path   to  rw-r-----     n  find   -type f -exec chmod u rw g r o           printf  Changing permissions of  files  directories in    drupal path  sites  to  rwxrwx---     n  cd sites find   -type d -name files -exec chmod ug rwx o           printf  Changing permissions of all files inside all  files  directories in    drupal path  sites  to  rw-rw----     n  printf  Changing permissions of all directories inside all  files  directories in    drupal path  sites  to  rwxrwx---     n  for x in     files  do   find   x  -type d -exec chmod ug rwx o            find   x  -type f -exec chmod ug rw o          done echo  Done setting proper permissions on files and directories    And need to invoke the command   sudo bash  Applications XAMPP xamppfiles htdocs fix-permissions sh --drupal path  Applications XAMPP xamppfiles htdocs rkmission --drupal user daemon --httpd group admin   In my case the user on which Apache is running is  daemon   You can identify the user by just running this php script in a php file through localhost    lt  php echo exec  whoami     gt    Below is the right user with right file permissions for Drupal     You might have to change it back once it is transported back to server

The way I resolved this was setup error logs correctly  first   lt VirtualHost   80 gt      DocumentRoot  D  websites test       ServerName test dev     ErrorLog  D  websites test logs error log      CustomLog  D  websites test logs access log  common      lt Directory D  websites test  gt            AllowOverride none         Require all granted        lt  Directory gt   lt  VirtualHost gt    After this error are being logged into  D  websites test logs   make sure to create logs folder yourself  The exact error that was recorded in error log was     AH01630  client denied by server configuration    Which pointed me to correct solution using this link which said for the above error   Require all granted    is required  My sample sample code above fixes the problem by the way
