Topic: phpmyadmin permissions

[Chrisco781]

Downloaded smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.6.4-pl4.dmay.noarch.rpm
Installed phpmyadmin
rpm -Uvh smeserver-phpmyadmin-2.6.4-pl4.dmay.noarch.rpm
opened browser and went to http://cserve/phpmyadmin and received this message:
Forbidden

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

Is there a certain folder that  I need to chmod?

Chrisco,

  It should ask you for a password before giving you the forbidden message.  I am guessing that you have the httpd.conf file changed to require a user

grep "require user" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

You should see one or more lines that tell you admin is the required user.  You may want to look into that file and make sure this is actually under the phpmyadmin seciton.

Did you restart the web service?

/etc/init.d/httpd stop
/etc/init.d/httpd start

Does not ask for a password before giving me the forbidden message.
I entered
   grep "require user" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
and I did see
   require user admin
Not sure how to look into that file and make sure this is actually under the phpmyadmin seciton.

Stoped and started web service
   /etc/init.d/httpd stop
   /etc/init.d/httpd start
Still getting same forbidden message.

You need to use a secure login, even from the local network

i.e https://cserve/phpmyadmin

That was it. Thank you both.

I filed a bug report with a request for a RewriteRule so users are automatically transfers to the https://url when they try to access the http://url.

Thanks that sure is helpfull (although I already knew how to do this)  but I think the author (D May) of the contrib should provide a RewriteRule in his RPM as he does not allow for unauthorized/anonymous plain http access to the ibay (/phpmyadmin) created by his RPM as stated earlier by JonB.
