Question
Where is the phpMyAdmin config for xampp apache2 and how can I remotely access it?
I can’t find the location for the config for phpMyAdmin to allow me to remotely access it. I am using Apache2 and XAMPP.
Access forbidden!
New XAMPP security concept:
Access to the requested object is only available from the local network.
This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf".
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 403
Apache/2.4.23 (Unix) OpenSSL/1.0.2j PHP/5.5.38 mod_perl/2.0.8-dev Perl/v5.16.3

Are you running XAMPP locally or on a Droplet?
If locally and on a Windows machine, your XAMPP directory is located at:
and phpMyAdmin should be located at:
If you’re running this on a Linux server (i.e. your Droplet, or locally), you’ll want to run:
To setup any security measures.
One thing to keep in mind is that XAMPP is meant for development, not for live production servers. If you are wanting to setup a LAMP stack, I would advise reading over this guide:
