403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access

butchseaman · Post by **butchseaman** » 2010/02/09 14:40:42

I get "403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access" after attempting an installation of phpmyadmin.

CentOS 5.4
Permissions for directory set to 755 recursively (chomd -R 755 )
Directory is in /var/www/html/

I have other test pages in the /var/www/html/ directory that I can access ... I know this seems like a permission issue and in fact the error log states this is a permission issue, but I cannot figure what is the problem here. Maybe someone else has seen this type of behavior before that can help me out.

Thanks for your time

You may wish to check out the following configuration file:
[b]/etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf[/b]
for line beginning with [b]Allow[/b] and modify it accordingly.

EDIT: Followed by [b]service httpd restart[/b]

there does not appear to be a /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf file. not sure where to go from here...

Thanks

I just did a test install of the phpmyadmin package from rpmforge, and it did install a /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf file. Where did you install from?

ok.. got it installed after installing RPMforge. have never used that but I like I think.

here is what I've got

[root@localhost conf.d]# rpm -ql phpmyadmin | grep conf
/etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/config.sample.inc.php
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/contrib/packaging/Fedora/phpMyAdmin-http.conf
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/auth/config.auth.lib.php
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries/config.default.php
/usr/share/phpmyadmin/show_config_errors.php
[root@localhost conf.d]#

edited /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin
[root@localhost conf.d]# cat phpmyadmin.conf
#
# Web application to manage MySQL
#

Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
Alias /mysqladmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

then try

http://10.0.1.8/phpmyadmin
get "can't establish a connection to the server at localhost."

maybe I am missing how to properly call....

Did you restart httpd?

butchseaman · Post by **butchseaman** » 2010/02/10 00:20:55

service restart httpd

[root@localhost log]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
