Moving phpMyAdmin?

Hi,

I’m moved my phpMyAdmin folder to another to remove it from being attacked via internet and only allow local access, but I seem to be missing an addition setting to successfully do this. I change the “/etc/apache2/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf” to reflect the new folder, restart apache and a reboot, but it keeps trying to access the original folder.

What other file(s) do I need to make changes too?

Well, I got it to work, but I have another question just to make sure no one from the internet can access phpMyAdmin. This is what I did:

  1. Move the folder to /to/my/folder/phpMyAdmin
  2. Changes to reflect new folder like <Directory /to/my/folder/phpMyAdmin>
  3. Added

Alias /phpMyAdmin “/to/my/folder/phpMyAdmin”

  1. Added

Order allow,deny
Allow from 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.101

How is this for keeping internet prowlers out?

Hi
Now you need to test from the internet side… Having a remote shell
account helps as well to run additional checks port scans etc.

Your config looks OK to me. As Malcolm says, you also need to test it,
in case we’re all missing something! I’d also suggest that you don’t
rely entirely on the correct configuration of everything but add an
external firewall as well. Normally a router can help with this.

Ok thanks!.. :slight_smile:
