I have found the solution:
I edited the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf like the following :
<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 </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>
Basically I commented out : "Deny from All", httpd restarted and it works!
