phpMyAdmin + CentOS 6.0 - Forbidden

Question

I always get this message when I would like access my phpMyAdmin.

w3m localhost/phpmyadmin

Forbidden

You don\'t have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this          


        

Answer 1

I tried all answers provided here: editing phpMyAdmin.conf, changing selinux context for phpmyadmin folder, disabling selinux... but I still got a 'Forbidden' from the web server.

I finally found what I was missing in Edouard Thiel post here :

$ yum install php

then restart httpd :

$ service httpd restart => for centos 6 hots

$ systemctl restart httpd => for centos 7 hosts

What has me amazed is why php is not installed as dependency for phpmyadmin in the first place.
