phpMyAdmin error: client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

Hi all,

I am trying to install phpMyAdmin on my Fedora 12 desktop following the instructions given in this HowTo: Installing Apache2 With PHP5 And MySQL Support On Fedora 12 (LAMP)

I've installed phpMyAdmin using yum. I've made no changes to /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf since I will only be logging in locally.

According to the HowTo, I should now be able to open phpMyAdmin, like this http://192.168.2.2/phpmyadmin, but I get a 403 error from Apache. I see this line in the Apache error file:

Code:

Sat May 15 16:02:34 2010] [error] [client 192.168.2.2] client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/phpMyAdmin

Something must be missing here. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi,

First make sure it's not SELinux the culprit.
And then edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf and use:

Code:

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
   order deny,allow
   deny from all
   allow from 192.168.2.0/24
</Directory>

Regards

Fixed, thanks.

Not sure why the line

Code:

allow from 127.0.0.1

wasn't sufficient; I am trying to log in phpmyadmin on my own desktop here.
