What do you mean by that? And what is your problem?

Hello Nobbe, Thanks for your kind reply

i want to make my xampp should be accessable in LAN, I had found in google like to remove the following code from httpd-xampp.conf

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

But in Xampp version 7.1.11 has no such lines in the mentioned file, I want to know how to enable lan access for this version

Xampp is accessible in the LAN anyway. Simply enter the LAN IP of the Xampp Server into the clients browser, i.e. http://192.168.1.10 or similar. The Xampp Dashboard should appear. Put your documents into htdocs folder (like test.php) and access it via http://192.168.1.10/test.php (replace the LAN IP).

Only Administration of MySQL via phpmyadmin is protected in Xampp and can only accessed via localhost. There should be the line "Require local", i dont know if it has been removed by Bitnami. But anyway, you dont need to modify anything in order to access your own files in htdocs.

P.S.: Your documentation is outdated, the "Require local" clause is in a Directory container for phpmyadmin in the new version (but you should find it anyway, simply search for "Require local", its very easy to find). There is no LocationMatch anymore.
