Smoker,

thanks you so much for your detailed (and working!) explanation.

Regards,

James

am still getting the error ,not sure what to do now am new to all this, any help would be good thanks

Just wanted to thank you for the help. After numerous purges and reinstalls with the same results your fix worked. The first code gave no change, but the second code gave me the results I needed. Again, Thanks to Smoker for the help.

Thank you very much worked 1st time.

thanks for the help. worked great.

I have to say that what I have to do first was to edit the file /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.config

in the bottom part of the doc there is this:

# Authorize for setup
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup>
<IfModule mod_authn_file.c>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "phpMyAdmin Setup"
AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup
</IfModule>
Require valid-user
</Directory>

# Disallow web access to directories that don't need it
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries>
Order Deny,Allow
Require valid-user--------------------here there was as Deny from All---------------
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/lib>
Order Deny,Allow
Require valid-user--------------------same as above--------------------------------
</Directory>


with this change when I access the localhost/phpmyadmin it prompts a username password field that was setup at the phpadmin install process.

thanks again!!!

My thanks also go to smoker.

I had the same problem and while the first suggestion didn't work, the second suggestion worked immediately. Voila! :)

thanks to @smoker it worked to me as well !!! now enjoyin lamp!

I am getting the same error. But I am using CentOS

I installed with yum command.
yum install phpmyadmin

The above solutions are not working for me

Because you don't need to install it with yum.

Create a directory on your server, like /var/www/html/phpmyadmin
and download and unpack phpMyAdmin, let's say v2.11.11.3 (d/l with wget ....)

then all you need to do is create an alias in Apache /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
for phpmyadmin under some virtual host or other nameserver directive:
then restart apache/httpd and try :
you should see something.

I am using suphp.

Should i make any changes on this ?

I don't know what changes would be needed,
but here it states that
Try it, you can't lose anything.

I can see this error.
It seems SELinux is doing something. Not sure.

In error log, I found this.
I tried to disable comment <IfModule mod_php5.c>, But still same error.
SuPHP is configured.

I gave chown to the suphp user and group
I changed the files to 644 and folder to 755
