I installed PHPMyadmin in a folder on one of the virtualhosts and it comes up 403 Forbidden. I installed it using the built in script installer. Any ideas on how to get this to work. The other weird thing is I tried installing it on another subserver, but I get “This script cannot be installed, as this virtual server does not meet its requirements : phpMyAdmin requires a MySQL database”
Howdy,
Do you perhaps have a distro’s phpMyAdmin package installed?
If so, that might be overriding your Install Script, and attempting to run the distro version, which could cause the error you’re seeing.
What distro is it that you’re using?
-Eric
I don’t think I have the distro’s phpmyadmin installed. I’m using CentOS 6.
Not sure if it helps, but here is what the Access Log says.
98.167.74.110 - - [19/May/2014:04:48:23 +0000] “GET /phpmyadmin/ HTTP/1.1” 403 213 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0”
Howdy,
Just to be sure – what is the output of this command:
rpm -qa | grep -i phpmyadmin
Also, is there a .htaccess file in the public_html? If so, what are it’s contents?
-Eric
There was no output when I ran that command.
This is the .htaccess in the public_html. I have Roundcube in the root and phpmyadmin in a folder.

I am facing same issue with Virtualmin GPL on Centos 7.1. Some time it’ allow me to logon to phpmyadmin but it showing me below error on PHPmyAdmin interface.
error in processing request error code 403
I am able to see databases there but unfortunately nothing loading properly.
I checked the permissions and those are ok for virtualserver user.
phpmyadmin is installed under /home/user/public_hhtml/phpmyadmin/
Please advise.
Like many things, not everything works out of the box, so sometimes you have to look outside the box.
Do you need phpmyadmin?
You probably do if you are selling hosting and your clients want it, but if not and you just want it for yourself, your in luck, use sqlbuddy
It is simple and works and I have a love for things that are simple and work…
