[SOLVED] XAMPP 1.8.0 + virtual hosts = 403 access forbidden

Question

Hello, all. I am happy migrant from ubuntu to arch, but have problem, which i can't solve myself.
I need to setup xammp for local development.
My actions
Install last xampp from aur
Run lampp
Open locahost, there is "xampp welcome page"
Open localhost/phpmyadmin and get
xampp new xampp security concept, blablabla
    Okay, add "Require all granted" in httpd-xampp.conf
<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
        AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
        #Order allow,deny
        #Allow from all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    phpmyadmin came back
I need virtual hosts, structure will be
/home/$USER/Sites/{site1/index.html,site2,site3 etc.}
Uncomment include vhosts in httpd.conf
Include /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Clear httpd-vhosts.conf and put there
<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot "/home/shara/Sites/mysite"
        ServerName mysite
        ServerAlias www.mysite
        ErrorLog "/home/shara/Sites/mysite-error_log"
        CustomLog "/home/shara/Sites/mysite-access_log" common
    </VirtualHost>
Add new host in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 mysite
Set "User shara" and "Group www" in httpd.conf
<IfModule unixd_module>
User shara
# commented out by lampp compatibility check
#Group nogroup
Group www
</IfModule>
Add group "groupadd www"
Add user to group "usermod -aG www shara"
Change htdocs group "chgrp -R www /opt/lampp/htdocs"
Change sitedir group "chgrp -R www /home/shara/Sites"
Change htdocs chmod "chmod 2775 /opt/lampp/htdocs"
Change sitedir chmod "chmod 2775 /home/shara/Sites"
Run xampp
Open "mysite"
Access forbidden Error 403
Open "localhost"
Access forbidden Error 403
Open "localhost/phpmyadmin"
Existing configuration file (./config.inc.php) is not readable.
Oookay
    Set chmod 664 to /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
Open "localhost/phpmyadmin"
    phpmyadmin works, but nothing else
    XAMPP 1.7 worked perfect with this config. Where is the FAIL?

Answer 1

I did it.
phpmyadmin new security problem solved with set passwords with /opt/lampp/lampp security (NO require all granted in httpd-xampp.conf)
virtual hosts 403 problem solved with
New instruction:
*User name "shara" and group "www" is myown, you need to set yours
INSTALL
yaourt -S xampp
/opt/lampp/lampp security
VIRTUAL HOSTS
Uncomment including vhosts in "/opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf" and set "User shara" and "Group www"
Include /Applications/XAMPP/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
<IfModule unixd_module>
User shara
# commented out by lampp compatibility check
#Group nogroup
Group www
</IfModule>
Clear "/opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf" and add
<VirtualHost *:80>
        DocumentRoot "/home/shara/Sites/mysite"
        ServerName mysite
        ErrorLog "/home/shara/Sites/mysite/mysite-error.log"
        CustomLog "/home/shara/Sites/mysite/mysite-access.log" common
    <Directory "/home/shara/Sites/mysite">
       Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Add new host in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 mysite
Add group
groupadd www
Add user to group
usermod -aG www shara
Change htdocs group
chgrp -R www /opt/lampp/htdocs
Change sitedir group
chgrp -R www /home/shara/Sites
Change htdocs chmod
chmod 2775 /opt/lampp/htdocs
Change sitedir chmod
chmod 2775 /home/shara/Sites
Set phpmyadmin config chmod
chmod 664 /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
Run lampp
