Installing phpMyAdmin onto Amazon EC2 instance

Question

I\'ve configured my EC2 instance as a LAMP, following Amazon\'s tutorial. That appears to be functioning correctly (I can see phpinfo() in a file I\'ve uploaded

Answer 1

I replace

<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
    </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/>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All
  Allow from 127.0.0.1
  Allow from ::1
</Directory>

to

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

   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.4
     <RequireAll>
       Require all granted
     </RequireAll>
   </IfModule>
   <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.2
     Order Allow,Deny
     Allow from All
   </IfModule>
</Directory>

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/setup/>
   Order Allow,Deny
   Allow from All
</Directory>

And it works~

Answer 2

I had the same issue, and Chuck Le Butt's solution was very helpful, although a little different for me...

My ISP uses dynamic IP addresses so when I setup the server it was via a different IP. When I returned to it the following day, my IP address had changed so I was forbidden. Butt, rather than allowing access from all IP's as Chuck suggested, I've updated my previous IP addresses in the phpMyAdmin.conf file.

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

Answer 3

I needed to update the /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf to allow remote users.

I just replaced the contents of the first <directory> tag like so...

I removed:

<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
  </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>

And replaced it with this:

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

 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
</Directory>

And restarted the server: sudo service httpd restart

Works now!
