XAMPP - Windows - Access to the requested object is only available from the local network

Question

When going to localhost:8080/phpmyadmin/ I get the following error:

New XAMPP security concept:

Access to the requested directory is only available from the local network.

This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf".

It was working yesterday and I haven't made any changes.

I tried looking for an answer and modified my httpd-xampp.conf file to say "Require all granted"

I've looked for other possible solutions but I can't find any. Has anyone had the same issue?

I had the same error and changed the phpmyadmin section in the 'httpd-xampp.conf' file like this and it worked perfectly:

Alias /phpmyadmin "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/"
    <Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride all
        Order Deny,Allow
        Allow from all
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
