[SOLVED] Error when trying to access XAMPP from a network

Error when trying to access XAMPP from a network

I get following error when trying to access Xampp from a network I've tried but does not get any idea how to resolve it. Any help??I really confused

Access Forbidden :

Access to the requested Object is only available from the local network. This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf".

Solution

In your xampppath\apache\conf\extra open file httpd-xampp.conf and find the below tag:

# Close XAMPP sites here
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from ::1 127.0.0.0/8 
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/HTTP_XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

and add

"Allow from all"

after Allow from ::1 127.0.0.0/8 {line}

Restart xampp, and you are done.

In later versions of Xampp

...you can simply remove this part

#
# 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>

from the same file and it should work over the local network.
