title: OS X - Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/setup on this server
body: <p>I have a OS X 10.13 MariaDB server and I would like to be able to search the DB with phpMyAdmin on the local network.  I checked and created a index.php file and php is installed and running on my computer, but when dropping the unzipped phpMyAdmin folder into the /Library/WebServer/Documents/ folder (system web root, not user root) and running localhost/phpMyAdmin/ or localhost/phpMyAdmin/setup, I'm getting:</p>
  <pre><code>Forbidden
  You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/setup on this server.
  </code></pre>
  <p>I believe my permissions are correct, so is there anything else I should look at?  I searched the stacks here and found a few questions from several years ago, but they had conflicting answers and weren't tailored for OS X, and as I'm new with this I don't know if other OS answers can be applied to my situation.  Thanks.</p>
  <p>Edit: So when I enter 'sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf' and go to lines</p>
  <pre><code>#
  # Deny access to the entirety of your server's filesystem. You must
  # explicitly permit access to web content directories in other
  # &lt;Directory&gt; blocks below.
  #
  &lt;Directory /&gt;
      AllowOverride none
      Require all denied
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>and comment out and change to</p>
  <pre><code>AllowOverride all
  Require all allowed
  </code></pre>
  <p>I get:</p>
  <pre><code>Not Found
  The requested URL /phpmyadmin/ was not found on this server.
  </code></pre>
  <p>And my error log (/private/var/log/apache2/) is showing this:</p>
  <pre><code>[authz_core:error] [pid 2015] [client 127.0.0.1:50343] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /usr/local/phpmyadmin
  </code></pre>
  <p>So it looks like it's something with my system web root, but I'm stumped.  If it helps, this is on a new install of 10.13 with no previous access or usage of apache or web server functions that I know of, so it shouldn't have been messed with prior to me trying to get the phpmyadmin folder up and running.</p>
