I am banging my head to whatever I can find as I try to create a demo for my Ph.D thesis including Eclipse, web-services, tomcat, mysql, apache and etc. Today I found out here that to give external access to the default phpmyadmin installation in WAMP one has to click on WAMP system tray icon>Apache>Alias Directories>http://localhost/phpmyadmin>Edit Alias and change the line reading “Allow from localhost” to “Allow from all”.

May help someone someday.
