phpmyadmin forbidden after changing config for my IP

by

I followed the phpmyadmin setup and changed the config to require ip my ipaddress and allow from my ipaddress and its still telling me forbidden You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server. when I try to access the page on my browser (my server is not located on my machine). I installed everything using root. I also chmod 775 the entire phpMyAdmin folder. Im running RHEL 6.1. Any idea what to do at this point?

Here is my /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf:

<Directory /usr/share/phpMyAdmin/>
   <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
      # Apache 2.4
     <RequireAny>
      Require ip myserveripaddress
      Require ip ::1
     </RequireAny>
   </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
     # Apache 2.2
     Order Deny,Allow
     Deny from All
     Allow from myserveripaddress
     Allow from ::1
    </IfModule>
 </Directory>

Answer

The Allow from myserverip lines are preventing you from accessing the service. This way, Apache allows only requests orginating from this IP, but since you are using it from the IP of your client system, the requests will fail.
