sudo apt-get install php5-cli
sudo apt-get install php5-cgi

  • Change the permission with sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/ and sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www

You need to change the permission with:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/  
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www

  1. You should check /etc/apache2 and find the below lines:

    <Directory /usr/share>
        AllowOverride None
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
    
  2. the apache2 config should have this line:

    Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf
    
  3. Be you you phpadmin config look like this:

    Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin
    
    <Directory /usr/share/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_admin_flag allow_url_fopen Off
            php_value include_path .
            php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/lib/phpmyadmin/tmp
            php_admin_value open_basedir /usr/share/phpmyadmin/:/etc/phpmyadmin/:/var/lib/phpmyadmin/:/usr/share/php/php-gettext/:/usr/share/javascript/
       </IfModule>
    </Directory>
    
    <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>
    
    <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries>
        Order Deny,Allow
        Deny from All
    </Directory>
    
    <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/lib>
        Order Deny,Allow
        Deny from All
    </Directory>

The solution for me, was to uncomment the following lines:

<Directory /usr/share>
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>

in /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.

I faced the issue when I installed PHPMyAdmin in Ubuntu OS 16.04. I fixed the issue by adding the line [Require all granted] in the Directory section.

Example:

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
   AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.4
     <RequireAny>
       #Require ip 127.0.0.1
       #Require ip ::1
       Require all granted
     </RequireAny>
   </IfModule>
   <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.2
     Order Deny,Allow
     Deny from All
     Allow from 127.0.0.1
     Allow from ::1
   </IfModule>
</Directory>

This worked for me in centos removing unnecessary backup files of configuration

[root@Stats-Server-1 etc]# cd httpd/

[root@Stats-Server-1 httpd]# ls conf conf.d conf.modules.d logs modules run

[root@Stats-Server-1 httpd]# sudo nano conf.d

[root@Stats-Server-1 httpd]# cd conf.d

[root@Stats-Server-1 conf.d]# ls

autoindex.conf phpMyAdminbk.conf phpMyAdmin.conf.rpmsave userdir.conf php.conf phpMyAdmin.conf README welcome.conf

[root@Stats-Server-1 conf.d]# rm -rf phpMyAdminbk.conf

[root@Stats-Server-1 conf.d]# rm -rf phpMyAdmin.conf.rpmsave

[root@Stats-Server-1 conf.d]# sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

  • none of these commands have anything whatsoever to do with permissions that I can see.
