Problems accessing XAMPP from remote PC (XP) 1.7.7 [SOLVED]
Posted: 10. December 2011 01:35
Happy Holidays to all!
I am needing some advice regarding access XAMPP from a remote computer via a LAN. I have followed the wonderful input thus far and all seemed fine...until now. YIKES!
When I log into XAMPP and run Apache and MySQL, I can access localhost from the computer with XMAPP installed. I can access it via localhost or the address (xxx.x.x.x). I can access it without issue when typing either directly into the address bar. I have noticed that when I type in "https://" first, there is a security warning message (I believe about an untrusted certificate). I am still able to access XAMPP from the local computer though.
Now...when I try to access XAMPP from another computer, I run into problems. I get the following screen message - "unable to connect". I have tried to connect using "https://localhost" and "https://xxx.x.x.x".
I have modified the httpd-xampp.conf file as outlined below, per Sharley's recommendation when I originally asked for help accessing xampp remotely.

</LocationMatch>
Any thoughts as to what might be causing the issue with accessing xampp from a remote computer? I think it might have something to do with the "https" notice I am getting when I try to log in that way on the local computer...not sure though.
Thank you in advance for your help, and please let me know if you need any other information from me. I had been able to access it before from a remote computer, and I thought I was validating access as I was updating and testing the settings, so I am a bit stumped. So close and yet so far!
