phpmyadmin 403

[skoena]

After the update (not 100% sure if this causes it) to 3.0.16 mydomain.com/phpmyadmin is not available anymore. It gives a 403 error message.

Edit: Just checked my 2 new servers that I updated this morning to the latest stable version of ispconfig and also here phpmyadmin is not available because of a 403 error.

Same issue here.


client denied by server configuration: /usr/share/phpmyadmin/


It seems to be related to my .4 -> .6 upgrade.

Same issue on two servers.

I just found following bug id:

Thanks for the link. I'm looking through the security ramifications of the workaround.

I used the workaround and my phpmyadmin is available again.
Till, is this a secure way to do it? Or is it better to install phpmyadmin as a separate website like you mentioned?

Here a workaround for debian to use phpmyadmin and squirrelmail.

Edit the file:

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.conf

and add the following lines at the end:

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

<Directory /usr/share/squirrelmail>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

This workaround is secure.
