Make the small Config file below. Notice that the folder is
now above your web root (/var/www/html/)

http://localhost/pma   -- will navigate to the new install

------------ /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf -----------

Alias /pma "/var/www/phpMyAdmin"

<directory /var/www/phpMyAdmin>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Options all
Options +includes
</directory>
---------------- end snip -------------
