What are the permissions of /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf ?

Does the file even exist?

Avivliberman · 12-06-2018, 02:31 PM

permissions:
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 674 Mar 22 2017 php.conf
-rwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 1787 Dec 6 19:45 phpMyAdmin.conf
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 392 Jun 19 15:45 README
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 299 Feb 19 2018 welcome.conf

and yes

Hmm. You know, I hope, that the 777 permission is bad...the file only needs to be world readable:

Code:

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root     2018 Oct 24  2017 phpMyAdmin.conf

on my system.
But that's not the problem in any case.

Presumably, this is also true

Code:

drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root     4096 Dec  3 12:43 /etc/httpd/conf.d
drwxr-xr-x. 5 root root       86 Dec  3 12:35 /etc/httpd/

Have you edited the file? If so, how?
Linux intentionally throws "Permission denied" errors when there may be other problems, as if the file contains DOS line end characters.

I have created the file again, and it worked
