Bitte antworten an CentOS mailing list centos@centos.org

have you modified /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf ? # # Web application to manage MySQL #

<Directory "/usr/share/phpMyAdmin"> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1

</Directory>

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

my phpmyadmin.conf file reads:

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

<Directory "/usr/share/phpmyadmin"> Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1

</Directory>

Unless you're going to access this through a ssh tunnel to this machine fix this stanza of the config.

Greetings,

When I try to access it throughhttp://localhost/phpmyadmin  it is giving me a 403 forbidden error

I'd look in /var/log/httpd/{access,error}_log

maybe `tail -f /var/log/httpd/*_log`  in a shell window, then hit the webpage and see what new errors are barfed out a few seconds later...

that says it all right there.

::1 is the ipv6 localhost.  you probably allowed 127.0.0.1 but not ::1

you should.

I just did add ::1

Still forbidden :-(
