XAMPP’s Phpmyadmin folder is forbidden as default if accessed from internet. To open access this folder we have to edit /xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-xampp.conf file in Windows or /opt/lampp/etc/extra/httpd-xampp.conf file in Linux.
- Open httpd-xampp.conf file in text editor
- Find the following line:
# Windows
Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/"
<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Require local
ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>
# Linux
Alias /phpmyadmin "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin"
<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Require local
ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>
Change to the following line:
# Windows
Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/"
<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
# Linux
Alias /phpmyadmin "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin"
<Directory "/opt/lampp/phpmyadmin">
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
Restart Apache and phpmyadmin can be accessed from internet.
