Is it possible to block access to phpMyAdmin page or the xampp Settings page for other computers over the LAN network? But in the same way it should be accessible for localhost or 127.0.0.1, I tried to set in the httpd.conf page as

Listen 127.0.0.1:80

But when I did so I was not able to access the site with the address http://myhostname/website from my computer or from any other computer from the network.

I would like to block the xampp settings page for other computers but they should be able to access the website.

Did you try changing \conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf ? - newTag

To disable access from your network, Open httpd-xampp.conf located in xampp-folder\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf

Change this:

<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from ::1 127.0.0.0/8 \
fc00::/7 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 192.168.0.0/16 \
fe80::/10 169.254.0.0/16

ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

To this:

<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from ::1 127.0.0.0/8 \
fc00::/7 10.0.0.0/8 172.16.0.0/12 \
fe80::/10 169.254.0.0/16

ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</LocationMatch>

Don't forget to restart Apache. Now http://localhost/phpmyadmin will result 403 Forbidden error.

You need only to change your httpd conf file.

Comment the value Require all granted by adding a # (#Require all granted), and add Require local for the informations <Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">

Find:

<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))">

Add:

Require local

Make these paths accessible only from the host.
