If you have installed phpMyAdmin in your linux server (centos/RHEL/debian), and tried to access phpMyAdmin in most cases you will get this 403 forbidden error. I have seen this issue very often if you are installing phpmyadmin using yum or by apt-get. By default phpmyadmin installed path is /usr/share/phpmyadmin and the apache configuration file is located in /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf.
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.
To fix:
nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
Remove or comment the first two lines in bold.
#Order Allow,Deny
#Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Restart the apache server.
service httpd restart
Once this is done, Point your browser to http://yourserveripaddress/phpmyadmin
