Access is only available on the local network ?

[Morbakos]

Hello,

When I try to connect to my Xampp server with another machine, it display that "Access to the requested object is only available on the local network. This parameter can be configured in the "httpd-xampp.conf" file." But I don't know what to change in this file. Can someone help me ?

Thank you !

Ok so I asked the same question to another forum, and someone respond that you have to change this :

Code: Select all

<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Require local
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

into this :

Code: Select all

<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
     AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
     Order allow,deny
     Require all granted
     Allow from all
</Directory>

As you can see, this only affects PhpMyAdmin. If you put your own documents (HTML and PHP) into htdocs folder (or a subfolder), there is no need to change any permission. You can simply run it from everywhere you like.

This is a poor change.
1st: Why should anybody be able to access your phpMyAdmin? Why not one specific IP or a range of IP adresses?
2nd: Allow from and Order are old Apache 2.2 access syntax. I would not recommend to use them anymore.

My recommendation would be something like this:

Code: Select all

<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    #Require ip yourip1 yourip2 etc for example:
    Require ip 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.10
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

Hello,

When a computer on the local network tries to access phpMyAdmin the "Access to the requested directory is only available from the local network" message appears. To be more accurate, this message should probably be changed to something like "Access to the requested directory is only available from the local machine/computer" or "Access to the requested directory is only available to the XAMPP host computer."

For additional information on this, see:

As you well know, the message text is from the \xampp\apache\errorXAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var file, which the \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf file refers to.
