title: httpd-xampp.conf: How to allow access to an external IP besides localhost?
body: <p>I haven't found the right answer that works for me in other questions.
  This is how the <code>httpd-xampp.conf</code> looks like originally:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#
  # New XAMPP security concept
  #
  &lt;LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))"&gt;
          Require local
      ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
  &lt;/LocationMatch&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What should I do if I want to add another IP address besides the <code>Require local</code>?</p>
  
  <p>For example, below <code>Require local</code> I have tried the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>That is to say:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#
  # New XAMPP security concept
  #
  &lt;LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))"&gt;
          Require local
          allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
      ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
  &lt;/LocationMatch&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it still blocks the access to that external IP. </p>
  
  <p>How do I fix this?
  How can I add more IP addresses to allow them access?</p>
  
  <p>I am using XAMPP 5.6.3 under a Windows environment.</p>
