PhpMyAdmin is showing 403 Forbidden

apache-http-serverMySQLphpmyadmin

I have just changed my www folders permission to 777 using this command

sudo chmod -R 777 www

And now when I try to open phpMyAdmin in browser and it is not opening and showing 403 Forbidden Error You don't have permission to access /phpMyAdmin/index.php on this server.

I try to change its permission to 744 but it still displays this error. I tried also to restart the apache after doing this changes but no luck.

How can I open phpMyadmin by changing its permission??

I changed the permission to 755 and now it is working properly.

sudo chmod -R 755 phpMyAdmin

Apple has a support document for this problem. Fixing the issue involves creating a file /etc/apache2/users/yourusername.conf (yourusername being the account short name, e.g. danielbeck – it's usually the name of your home folder in /Users) with the following contents:

<Directory "/Users/yourusername/Sites/">
Options Indexes MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Afterwards, run sudo chown root:wheel /etc/apache2/users/yourusername.conf and restart Apache.

Linux – apache wont follow symlinks | 403 permission denied

i finally solved my problem with following solution, may it help anyone in the future...

sudo chown me:www-data /home/me
sudo chmod 710 /home/me

sudo chown -R me:www-data /home/me/myWebDirectory

sudo chmod -R g+r /home/me/myWebDirectory

Caution : you may for example not want all subdirectories to be readable by apache, so adapt the -R(ecursive) directive.

But important is to give the apache user group read access to ur home then read access to the concerned infant.
