httpd-xampp.conf: How to allow access to an external IP besides localhost?

People also ask

Where is Httpd-xampp Conf xampp?

Re: httpd-xampp. conf. Please look inside your \xampp\apache\conf\extra folder.


allow from all will not work along with Require local. Instead, try Require ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xx

For Example:

# New XAMPP security concept
#
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
    Require local
    Require ip 10.0.0.1
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

I tried this and it works. Be careful though. This means that anyone in your LAN can access it. Deepak Naik's answer is safer.

#
# New XAMPP security concept
#
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
    # Require local
    Require all granted
ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

<Directory "C:/xampp/">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
</Directory>

This is what i added in the end of file \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf file before tag


Add below code in to file d:\xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf:

<IfModule alias_module>
...
    Alias / "d:/xampp/my/folder/"
    <Directory "d:/xampp/my/folder">
        AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>

Above config can access from http://127.0.0.1/

Note: someone suggest that replace from Require local to Require all granted but not work for me

<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
    # Require local
    Require all granted
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

For Ubuntu xampp,
Go to /opt/lampp/etc/extra/
and open httpd-xampp.conf file and add below lines to get remote access,
    Order allow,deny
    Require all granted
    Allow from all

in /opt/lampp/phpmyadmin section.

And restart lampp using, /opt/lampp/lampp restart
