apache httpd.conf question

Hi,

In the docs with regards to using phpmyadmin it says:

“Initially only requests from 127.0.0.1 will be allowed access to that section. You can change this behavior editing the
Apache main configuration file located at /Applications/mampstack-0.9.4/apache2/conf/httpd.conf.”

Can somebody tell me where and what to insert a line that would make apache and phpmyadmin work with localhost instead of 127.0.0.1 ???

Thanks!
DC

Hi,

We should update the documentation. You can modify this configuration file:

<installation_directory>/apps/phpmyadmin/conf/phpmyadmin.conf

Hi, by where and what, I meant inside the httpd.conf … I was able to find the httpd.conf but am not clear on what changes to make to it. Thanks!

Hi,

In the <installation_directory>/apps/phpmyadmin/conf/phpmyadmin.conf file you can find these lines:

Alias /phpmyadmin "/opt/lampstack-1.0-Beta-0/apps/phpmyadmin/htdocs" 

<Directory "/opt/lampstack-1.0-Beta-0/apps/phpmyadmin/htdocs">
AuthType Basic
AuthName phpMyAdmin
AuthUserFile "/opt/lampstack-1.0-Beta-0/apache2/users" 
Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Satisfy all
ErrorDocument 403 "For security reasons, this URL is only accesible using localhost (127.0.0.1) as the hostname" 
</Directory>

You only should replace 127.0.0.1 with localhost. I hope it helps!
