In the default configuration of phpmyadmin with ISPconfig-3 as perfect server on Ubuntu. Strange thing happens, "Order Deny,Allow" & "Deny from All" works for sub-directories but not for the root of them. /usr/share/phpmyadmin (Not working) /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup (working) /usr/share/phpmyadmin/libraries (working) /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup/lib (working) Can you explain this behavior? Do i miss something? Note: Ubuntu version 12.04.5 LTS Code: # phpMyAdmin default Apache configuration Alias /phpmyadmin /usr/share/phpmyadmin <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin> Options FollowSymLinks DirectoryIndex index.php ...... Order Deny,Allow Deny from All </Directory> # Authorize for setup <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin/setup> Order Deny,Allow Deny from All ....... </Directory> # Disallow web access to directories that don't need it <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>
It works for me: /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf Code: <Directory /usr/share/phpmyadmin> Options FollowSymLinks DirectoryIndex index.php AllowOverride All order deny,allow deny from all allow from xx.xx.xx.xx. </Directory>
I figured it out there is a configuration duplication. The main configuration file of PhpMyAdmin package (/etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf) configure the directory "/usr/share/phpmyadmin", and ISPConfig re-configured it again in "/etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.conf"! Honestly I didn't expect this duplication but I choose to disable the one in "/etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.conf" and restriction now works. ISPConfig is great but I think developers should consider this small issue and alike.
but that file /etc/apache2/sites-available/ispconfig.conf is commented inside: "ISPConfig Logfile configuration for vlogger" It sounds only for vlogger, I think
