To fix the issue with localhost under Windows 8 giving a 403 error (but working for 127.0.0.1) I did the following:

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. From the WampServer icon, left click, select Apache > Alias Directories > .../phpmyadmin/ > Edit alias to open the alias configuration file and then changed: 
  2.  
  3. <Directory "c:/wamp/apps/phpmyadmin3.5.1/">
  4.     Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  5.     AllowOverride all
  6.         Order Deny,Allow
  7.   Deny from all
  8.   Allow from 127.0.0.1
  9. </Directory>
  10.  
  11. such that the Allow line became: 
  12.  
  13.         Allow from 127.0.0.1 ::1
  14.  
  15. That will fix things for phpmyadmin and if you intend to use SQLbuddy or Webgrind then you'll need to make a similar change to their configuration files. Furthermore, if you've modified the Apache configuration (as I had) then you'll to make a similar change to any localhost Allows in httpd.conf too.
