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.

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:
