Can\'t Access PHPMyA

Answer 1

When looking at this article (How to enable phpMyAdmin or phpPgAdmin to be accessed remotely?), I needed to be looking at Virtual Machine and not Amazon cloud / Bitnami Hosting.

When I changed the /opt/bitnami/apps/phpmyadmin/conf/httpd-app.conf file to the following, I was able to access via [PUBLIC_DNS/YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/IP]/phpmyadmin].

Main changes being:

Allow from all

and

Require all granted

After the changes, remember to restart apache server. (or reboot your instance)

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache

/opt/bitnami/apps/phpmyadmin/conf/httpd-app.conf

# AuthType Basic
# AuthName phpMyAdmin
# AuthUserFile "/opt/bitnami/apache2/users"
# Require valid-user
AllowOverride None


        php_value upload_max_filesize 80M
php_value post_max_size 80M



Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Satisfy all

= 2.3>
Require all granted
