XAMPP Access Forbidden [ubuntu]

Yesterday I was able to completely normally use PHP and phpmyadmin with XAMPP and make apps. The only thing changed is that I restarted the computer. Now I start lampp like always 

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

and I get

XAMPP: Starting Apache...fail.
XAMPP:  Another web server is already running.
XAMPP: Starting MySQL...ok.
XAMPP: Starting ProFTPD...ok.

Maybe the apache is the problem I don't know. But when I open localhost in browser, I get

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

I added 'Require all granted' to that httpd.conf file, and it didn't help, so something else must be going on. I tried a lot of other threads on forums, nothing helped. Ideas? Thanks

It could be possibly because another instance of Apache is running on your system. Just try to close all intances via sudo killall -9 apache2 and then try to start/restart the LAMPP. Most linux OS ships Apache as default server, so if you even haven't installed them, they might be running in your system.
