Hi n9mfk,

Depends what you want to keep. The answer is anywhere between "all" and "nothing".

Take a look into the new security concept configuration at the end of \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf
Simply add your ip there.

best wishes,

If you feel better to delete them, just do it.
I can't decide what to keep and what not. In my opinion there is no need to delete anything.

What is the IP of the server? What is your current bitmasking within the network and on your machines?

Yes, subnet mask. I've never checked, but have you tried unmasking the subnet? Perhaps the router isn't allowing access.

EDIT: I just ran a test in my local network to access xampp security page from across subnets and it works just fine if I change the mask.

the only way it works for me is is adding
Code: Select all
 Allow from 192.168.1.3

Oh, you changed the IP address which negates the need to ask about the subnet mask. Oh well. At least it works for you now.
