Ubuntu 12.04 - Phpmyadmin - 403 forbidden

Background

I am running Ubuntu 12.04, and when i go to my url http://domain_name.com/phpmyadmin/ i am getting the error:

You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server.

I have used a symlink for phpmyadmin which points to

"usr/share/phpmyadmin"

it has permission 777.

Question

why is it showing as permission denied?

Thanks

Aiden

For security reasons Apache does not allow 777 permission.

You can use a hard link (ln) other than a soft link (ln -s).

Or

Download the PhpMyAdmin tarball from the site and decompress it in '/var/www/' directory as root. Then rename the directory to phpmyadmin(or something you need).

Then try to view it via a web browser 'http://localhost/phpmyadmin/'. In the initial stage you will see a wizard to setup PhpMyAdmin. (Sometimes you may need to change the permissions on 'config.inc.php', for that just follow the instructions on the wizard.)
