Edit your httpd conf file as follows     nano  etc httpd conf httpd conf   Add the following lines here    lt Directory   usr share phpmyadmin  gt      Order allow deny     Allow from all  lt  Directory gt    Issue the following command     service httpd restart   If your problem is not solved then disable your SELinux

Non of the above mentioned solutions worked for me  Below is what finally worked    yum update  yum install phpmyadmin   Be advised  phpmyadmin was working a few hours earlier  I don t know what happened    After this  going to the browser  I got an error that said   config inic php can t be accessed    cd  usr share phpmyadmin   stat -c  a config inic php  640  chmod 644 config inic php   This shows that the file permissions were 640  then I changed them to 644   Finially  it worked   Remember to restart httpd    service httpd restart

I have faced the same problem when I tape the URL   https   www nameDomain com phpmyadmin   the forbidden message shows up  because of the rules on  use share phpMyAdmin directory  I fix it by adding in this file  etc httpd conf d phpMyAdmin conf in this section    lt Directory  usr share phpMyAdmin  gt            lt  Directory gt    these line of rules   lt Directory  usr share phpMyAdmin  gt     Order Deny Allow    Deny from All    Allow from 127 0 0 1    Allow from   1    Allow from All         lt  Directory gt    you save the file  then you restart the apache service whatever method you choose service httpd graceful or service httpd restart it depends on your policy  for security reasons you can specify one connection by setting one IP address if  your IP does not change  else if your IP changes every time you have to change it also    lt Directory  usr share phpMyAdmin  gt     Order Deny Allow    Deny from All    Allow from 127 0 0 1    Allow from   1    Allow from 105 105 105 254    set here your IP address         lt  Directory gt

None of the configuration above worked for me on my CentOS 7 server  After hours of searching  that s what worked for me   Edit file phpMyAdmin conf  sudo nano  etc httpd conf d phpMyAdmin conf  And replace this at the top    lt Directory  usr share phpMyAdmin  gt     AddDefaultCharset UTF-8      lt IfModule mod authz core c gt         Apache 2 4       lt RequireAny gt          Require ip 127 0 0 1         Require ip   1        Require all granted       lt  RequireAny gt      lt  IfModule gt      lt IfModule  mod authz core c gt         Apache 2 2      Order Deny Allow      Deny from All      Allow from 127 0 0 1      Allow from   1     lt  IfModule gt   lt  Directory gt

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   Regards  Fred

I had the same issue for two days now  Disabled SELinux and everything but nothing helped  And I realize it just may not be smart to disable security for a small fix  Then I came upon this article - http   wiki centos org HowTos SELinux  that explains how SELinux operates  So this is what I did and it fixed my problem     Enable access to your main phpmyadmin directory by going to parent directory of phpmyadmin  mine was html  and typing   chcon -v --type httpd sys content t phpmyadmin  Now do the same for the index php by typing   chcon -v --type httpd sys content t phpmyadmin index php   Now go back and check if you are getting a blank page  If you are  then you are on the right track  If not  go back and check your httpd config directory settings  Once you do get the blank page with no warnings  proceed  Now recurse through all the files in your phpmyadmin directory by running    chron -Rv --type httpd sys content t phpmyadmin      Go back to your phpmyadmin page and see if you are seeing what you need   If you are running a web server that s accessible from outside your network  make sure that you reset your SELinux to the proper security level  Hope this helps
