phpmyadmin help

[riot1ne]

I figured I would post before I go in the closet with a bat and kill the server.

So im running a server with Debian Lenny I have Apache2, mysql, and php running. I got phpmyadmin and all I want to do is stop it from allowing traffic from the wan. I want to only access it from the LAN.

I tried adding code to /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

<Directory /var/lib/phpmyadmin/>
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 10.0
</Directory>

I also tried changing the name of the directory /var/lib/phpmyadmin to /var/lib/blah

to see if that would stop access so only mydomain.com/blah would get phpmyadmin and mydomain.com/phpmyadmin wouldnt exist... (LOL that fubared my sh*t so I had to remove phpmyadmin and reinstall)

I've read a few articles online which say to ad .htaccess (I dont think thats very secure) but regardless all I want is complete access only from the lan, nowhere else... is there a way to do this?


thanks in advance for any help.

Problem solved...

For Debian Lenny (I dont know about other distros)

Edit /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf

Add

    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 10.0

Between <directory> and </directory> tags
Change the 10.0 to your subnet.



I added it at the bottom just before the end tag.
