Access Denied for DVWA in Xampp running in Backtrack 5 r3

Question

Installed Xampp in Backtrack 5 r3. I wanted to use Damn Vulnerable Web App through it. But after copying DVWA files to local host i.e XAMPP, when i try to access by going to 120.0.0.1/dvwa its showing 403 error.
I got a .htaccess file in DVWA folder. I saw below codes.

<Limit GET POST PUT>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from 127.0.0.1
</Limit>

please help.

Answer 1

Add allow from your IP of your BT machine

Example:

allow from 192.168.0.0/16

Answer 2

To solve the error, you need to do:

chmod -R 755 dvwa/

You now should have the permission to access the folder.
