I googled a lot but I did not find a guide to set up phpmyadmin on a virtualHost on a custom port.

Apache 2.4, this is my httpd-vhosts.conf

Listen 0.0.0.0:66

<VirtualHost *:66>
Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/local/apache2/phpmyadmin
<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/phpmyadmin">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    DirectoryIndex index.php

    <IfModule mod_php5.c>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

        php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off
        php_flag track_vars On
        php_flag register_globals Off
        php_value include_path .
    </IfModule>

</Directory>
# Authorize for setup
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup>
 <IfModule mod_authn_file.c>
 AuthType Basic
 AuthName "phpMyAdmin Setup"
 AuthUserFile /etc/phpmyadmin/htpasswd.setup
 </IfModule>
 Require valid-user
</Directory>
#Disallow web access to directories that don't need it
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries>
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from All
</Directory>
<Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/lib>
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from All

And this is the error in the logs

 [Thu Jul 05 17:45:49.322954 2012] [authz_core:error] [pid 14314:tid 139825756501760] [client 127.0.0.1:49262] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /usr/local/apache2/phpmyadmin/

And these are the privileges

/usr/local/apache2# ls -l

I am not an Apache expert but in your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf have you tried adding the following?

<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/phpmyadmin/">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

There is a new permission model in Apache2 where the following is default:

<Directory />
    AllowOverride none
    Require all denied
</Directory>

So you have to specifically add exceptions for your directories. You can read more about it here

  • Ah, I didnt know that... However I tried just the "AllowOverride All", not the other one, this afternoon I will give it a try, thanks for the link, it looks interesting :)

  • Cool, it worked like a charm, I just needed also to open the port itself on the firewall and it went. Thanks Nic :)
