If you see below error message on WINDOWS, when trying to access phpMyAdmin from another IP other than localhost/127.0.0.1:

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".

open httpd-xammp.conf file from XAMPP control panel by clicking on the config tab

You can do next (for XAMPP, deployed on the UNIX-system): You can try changing the configuration for the following lines of configuration

<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Require local
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

TO

<Directory "C:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Require all granted
    #Require local
    ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
</Directory>

Kindly restart apache server after all configuration for it to take effect.

Now you can access http://[server_ip]/phpmyadmin/
