httpd-xampp.conf: Allow Access to an external system using Host Name instead of IP Address?

A server is deployed to be used on internal network, where I can access PHPmyAdmin using localhost or from having static IP.

I want to access page on my notebook which does not have static IP, but has NSM as hostname.

Currently, the following code is configured in httpd-xampp.conf. I tried to use Host name in place of the IP address but MySQL returns error.

Alias /phpmyadmin "D:/xampp/phpMyAdmin/"
    <Directory "D:/xampp/phpMyAdmin">
        AllowOverride AuthConfig
        Require local
        Require ip <private-ip>
        ErrorDocument 403 /error/XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var
    </Directory>
Solution

  • Use Require host in httpd-xampp.conf (with Apache 2.4.25)

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