I successfully created a website using the xampp package on a dedicated windows 2003 server edition computer. I can access my website inside my local network as well as outside. I also can access things such as phpmyadmin, xampp security, and the main xampp page on a computer connected to my local network. When I try to connect to these pages outside of my network, using my IP address followed by the page I want...
EG: http://72.x.x.xx/phpmyadmin
instead of going to phpmyadmin login page it displays this message:
"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".
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403"
Can anyone give me detailed instructions how to allow access to phpadmin, xampp start page, xampp etc. outside of my local network?
I feel stupid asking this question since it is so basic, but i can't seem to figure it out.
I have tried several tutorials on how to do this and have probably messed up passwords and such, but not enough to block me from accessing everything from my own server's computer.
Thanks In Advance -Dave
