Hello,
I am using XAMPP for Linux, version 5.6.21. I want to enable remote access for phpMyAdmin, however, LocationMatch is not found in the https.xampp.conf file. Does this version not allow phpMyAdmin to be run remotely at all?
Thank you.
Daryl

There is no "https.xampp.conf".

did you already search the Apache config files for the string phpmyadmin?
There might not be a LocationMatch line, but there is very sure an access rule for phpmyadmin.

To enable remote access to phpMyAdmin from other hosts, follow these steps:
Edit the etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf file in your XAMPP installation directory (usually, /opt/lampp).
Within this file, find the line below:
<LocationMatch "^/(\?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
Update this line and remove phpmyadmin from the list of locations, so that it looks like this:
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
Restart the Apache server using the XAMPP control panel.
You should now be able to access phpMyAdmin from other hosts.
In the basic configuration of XAMPP, phpMyAdmin is accessible only from the same host that XAMPP is running on, at http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost.
To enable remote access to phpMyAdmin, follow these steps:
Edit the etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf file in your XAMPP installation directory.
Within this file, find the line below and update it to remove 'phpmyadmin' from the list of locations.
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
Restart the Apache server using the XAMPP control panel.

rosede wrote:Yes, I've searched for phpmyadmin, but since two sources point to a LocationMatch directive, then I'm taking that as where I need to look to enable remote access to phpmyadmin.

This is a dead end. I am not able to change any FAQs or How Tos except posts here at this forum.rosede wrote:Don't worry about weakening security . This is only accessible on an internal network.
Well, the internal network i administrate does have multiple ten thousant of Members. So external, internal does not mean anything to estimate the security risk.
You want to weaken a base security feature of XAMPP. That is okay, if you know what you are doing.
We don't want to provide you a step by step tutorial shutting down any elemental security configurations from which you will not learn enything.
But we can help you through the process of learning.

No, that is not what i said. I am not able, i have no access to this pages to edit them.rosede wrote:I'm not asking you to. All I'm saying is that the information in the FAQ and How To is invalid.

And i told you not to search for LocationMatch, but for the specific lines where the phpMyAdmin access rules are configured.
You do not seem to be willing or not able to do that, which tells me that you do not have any clue about Apache configuration and you are not willing to invest any time in learning anything about all this.rosede wrote:I don't know why you're so worried about me wanting to access the phpmyadmin from a location other than on the localhost.

I am concerned. You are asking here for help and i want to be sure that you have the knowledge and ability to imagine the consequences of your change.
phpMyAdmin is configured this way for reasons of security. You can of cause lower every security and change any configuration you want to, but i will not assist anybody to lower any security without being able to understand this change or any part of the configuration.rosede wrote:I am not concerned about security.
But i am. I have already read and applied to many users here asking for help because of deleted databases, hacked XAMPP versions etc. just because they have lowered any security configurations or using XAMPP in a way it is not meant to.
Do you provide any support here? Do you spend your free time here helping others? No? So, let me decide by myself in which way i provide support here. Thank you.
