Error 404 when call phpMyAdmin

[Cezar Apulchro]

I have installed phpMyAdmin on Centos 8 server I believe that the installation was ok but when I call the phpMyAdmin in my browser I'm receiving "Error 404".
Thanks in advance by any help.

Error 404 means, Apache cannot find the file or folder. Where did you install phpmyadmin, what do you enter into the browser and what is the DocumentRoot?

[Cezar Apulchro]

My phpMyAdmin are installed in: /var/www/phpMyAdmin
I'm calling in my browser: http://localhost/phpMyAdmin

Sorry by delay.

Xampps DocumentRoot is /opt/lampp/htdocs, not /var/www

If you installed different stack than Xampp, ask in an appropriate forum where the DocumentRoot is. We cannot know all distributions here.

[Cezar Apulchro]

http://ServerIP/phpmyadmin and http://HostName/phpmyadmin too.

When I opened this contact I have installed the phpMyAdmin following an link of the web that have this path, by don't have know to solve the error I uninstall the phpMyAdmin and reinstall phpmyadmin following another web link and the path is another that is /usr/share. I don't find any installation of phpmyadmin using Xampps DocumentRoot.

[Nobbie]

Did you install Xampp?

[Cezar Apulchro]

No I don't have installed xampp, I have installed Apache, MySQL, PHP, phpMyAdmin in my VPS Server manually.

Ask your provider, we do not support third party providers neither Linux Distributions. This as also not a phpmyadmin issue, you obviously dont know where to install PHP Scripts on your VPS. I cannot tell you that. I have no clue about your server.

Actually, i really wonder why you enter http://localhost/phpMyAdmin into your browser, your VPS server *should* have a real Domain name? "localhost" is your PC where your browser is running, instead of localhost you should provide the Domain name you reserved from your provider.

[Cezar Apulchro]

My wrong.
But still same problem with: "http://ServerIP/phpmyadmin" and "http://HostName/phpmyadmin" too.

[Nobbie]

Above you wrote phpMyAdmin with capital M and A - folder names are case sensitive. If it still dont works, ask your provider, we cannot solve this here.

Hi, now I receiving an error that is more clarify but I don't have knowledge to solve, the error is:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.

My phpmyadmin.conf:
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin

<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
Require ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
Require ip 127.0.0.1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
Require all granted
</RequireAny>
</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
# Apache 2.2
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from 127.0.0.1

</IfModule>
</Directory>

Can you help me?

I think the error message indicates that you do not have permission to access the phpMyAdmin directory. To fix this, you need to make sure that the user that Apache is running has read permissions for the phpMyAdmin directory. You can do this by adding the following line to your phpMyAdmin.conf file:

<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/>
<FilesMatch .*>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>
</Directory>

Once you have added this line, you should restart Apache and you should be able to access phpMyAdmin. thanks
