PHP : Can't access phpmyadmin on a local network: Forbidden

Question

I am able to access /phpmyadmin normally from the computer which is running the XAMPP server, but when I try to access it from another computer on the same network, I get the following error:

"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"."

I have edited the httpd-xampp.conf file as per this previous question, but it's still giving the same error using these arguments:

# since XAMPP 1.4.3
<Directory "/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/phpmyadmin">
    Require local
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

1) You need to update from require local to Require all granted in the LocationMatch inside httpd-xampp.conf.

2) If still you have problem, remove Deny from all and add Allow from all
