Access to phpmyadmin is not possible now due to redirection of virtualhosts - apache

Question

I have a server with two subdomains, so I set up redirection for both of my subdomains specially because I want to force that the two subdomains are accessed only by https instead of http. My ideal scenario would be that I have those redirection untouched and be able to access phpMyAdmin locally (for security reasons obviously) but the problem now is that when I type the following in my browser:
127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin or localhost/phpmyadmin it takes me to https://example1.com/webservice/myrestfile-REST.php?appconfig=example
Is there any way to solve this problem?
This is the configuration that I currently have with the redirection:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example1.com
ServerAlias API.com
ErrorLog /var/www/html/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/html/requests.log combined
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
RewriteEngine On
LogLevel alert rewrite:trace6
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
# This checks to make sure the connection is not already HTTPS
RewriteRule ^ https://example1.com/webservice/myrestfile-REST.php?appconfig=example [R,L]
Redirect permanent / https://example1.com
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /webservice/myrestfile-REST.php?appconfig=example [QSA,L]
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName example1.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /webservice/myrestfile-REST.php?appconfig=example [QSA,L]
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/40d5d69ae6a53.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl/sitekey.key
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/ssl/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt
</VirtualHost>

It looks like you have apache set to listen on any ip <VirtualHost *:80> which would include the loopback address 127.0.0.1. See if you can just use the condition to ignore those.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/phpmyadmin$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^127\.0\.0\.1 [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^localhost [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /webservice/myrestfile-REST.php?appconfig=example [QSA,L]
See how that works and let me know.
