Alias /phpmyadmin "D:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/"

Looks like the old lopsided Alias directive when it comes to trailing slashes. It's been known to cause problems so I'd
remove the trailing / from the end of "D:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/", save and restart the server and see. If that doesn't
work, what is the line about the error in the error.log file, it should be located in the same folder you found the
access.log in.

I change the syntax

from :

Alias /phpmyadmin "D:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/"
<Directory "D:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Require all granted
</Directory>

to :
Alias /phpmyadmin "D:/xampp/phpMyAdmin"
<Directory "D:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Require all granted
</Directory>

and the log file says :
