I am trying to write a php that returns an invalid answer. I don’t know where the incorrect command is in the “you don’t have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server..” My detail is:

# phpMyAdmin - Web based MySQL browser written in php
 # 
 # Allows only localhost by default
 #
 # But allowing phpMyAdmin to anyone other than localhost should be considered
 # dangerous unless properly secured by SSL
 
 Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
 Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
 
 
 <Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
  <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
  # Apache 2.4
  <RequireAny>
  Require ip 127.0.0.1
  Require ip ::1
  </RequireAny>
  </IfModule>
  <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
  # Apache 2.2
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All
  Allow from 127.0.0.1
  Allow from ::1
  </IfModule>
 </Directory>
 
 <Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/setup/>
  <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
  # Apache 2.4
  <RequireAny>
  Require ip 127.0.0.1
  Require ip ::1
  </RequireAny>
  </IfModule>
  <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
  # Apache 2.2
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All
  Allow from 127.0.0.1
  Allow from ::1
  </IfModule>
 </Directory>
 
 # These directories do not require access over HTTP - taken from the original
 # phpMyAdmin upstream tarball
 #
 <Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/libraries/>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All
  Allow from None
 </Directory>
 
 <Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/setup/lib/>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All
  Allow from None
 </Directory>
 
 <Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/setup/frames/>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All
  Allow from None
 </Directory>
 
 # This configuration prevents mod_security at phpMyAdmin directories from
 # filtering SQL etc. This may break your mod_security implementation.
 #
 #<IfModule mod_security.c>
 # <Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
 # SecRuleInheritance Off
 # </Directory>
 #</IfModule>

and I end up with the warning message:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access `phpmyadmin` on this server

Pls, suggest the best answer to fix it.

    The cause: I think the problem is in your IP address.

    Solution: You can fix this error by these folfowing steps:

    Change

    Require ip 127.0.0.1

    into:

    Require ip 10.1.3.53

    Again change

    Allow from 127.0.0.1

    into:

    Allow from 10.1.3.53

    Also find deny from all and comment it in the entire file.

    Save and close the file.Restart Apache httpd server:

    # service httpd restart

  2. I could not use any of the above configurations on CentOS 7, server. This is what I found after hours of searching:

    Edit file phpMyAdmin.conf

    sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

    Replace the <Directory> ... </Directory> node by the following: 

    <Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
 AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

 <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
 # Apache 2.4
 <RequireAny>
 #Require ip 127.0.0.1
 #Require ip ::1
 Require all granted
 </RequireAny>
 </IfModule>
 <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
 # Apache 2.2
 Order Deny,Allow
 Deny from All
 Allow from 127.0.0.1
 Allow from ::1
 </IfModule>
</Directory>
