Firstly, apologies if there is a double post for this, my first post seems to have disappeared.
I installed the task-lamp-php according to the wiki, ran the mysql secure installation, restarted my PC and double-checked both the /etc/httpd/conf/site.d/phpmyadmin.conf and the /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/phpmyadmin.conf that the "allow 127.0.0.1" entry was there, so far so good. The issue is when I try to then access phpmyadmin on the local PC, I keep getting "Access denied per /etc/httpd/conf/webapps.d/phpmyadmin.conf" using either localhost OR 127.0.0.1.
What on earth am I missing?
