You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server.

I use CentOS 5 with virtualmin.

phpMyAdmin.conf

# phpMyAdmin - Web based MySQL browser written in php
# 
# Allows only localhost by default
#
# But allowing phpMyAdmin to anyone other than localhost should be considered
# dangerous unless properly secured by SSL

Alias /phpMyAdmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpMyAdmin
<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
   #order deny,allow
   #deny from all
   allow from 127.0.0.1
   allow from ::1

You are not accessing the phpmyadmin from the 127.0.0.1 or ::1 addresses.

You need to find out what address you are accessing phpmyadmin from and add it to the list of allowed addresses. This will most likely be the public ip address of your server.

e.g. if your public ip address is 192.168.1.54 then you would add it to your configuration

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
   #order deny,allow
   #deny from all
   allow from 192.168.1.54
   allow from 127.0.0.1
   allow from ::1
</Directory>
