XAMPP - Access to the requested object is only available from the local network

Question

When I try to access an phpMyAdmin of xampp in another pc using ip address I get this error:

Access forbidden!

New XAMPP security concept:

Access to the requested object is only available from the local network.

This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf".

I was searching for the solution and found a bunch of suggestions like modifying httpd-xampp.conf file.

1) Option was to modify <LocationMatch> block like this:

<LocationMatch "^/(?i(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

The problem is that my httpd-xampp.conf file does not contain such a block, but if I try to add it to the end of the file I still get the same error.

2) Option was to modify <Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin"> as following:

<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

Or

<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

Or

<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
    Require all granted
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

This didn't solve the problem either. Still getting same error.

P.S. I am restarting Apache after each change!

Could someone see what I could be missing?

I just fixed it ! Please go to :

<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Require local
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

and change all the contents as below:

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