Centos - localhost and mysql work, php & phpMyAdmin don't

I'm using PHP 5.2.8. The Apache server is 2.2.3. I see the localhost screen fine. If I try to access phpMyAdmin (/var/www/html/phpMyAdmin) it says I don't have permission. If I type in phpinfo.php (localhost/phpMyAdmin/phpinfo.php) it just shows the code.
I've located the httpd.conf file and put the document root as /var/www/html.
I added the following lines to the php.ini file:
LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
I added name and password to the config.inc.php file.

What am I missing? Thanks

Put appropriate part of your apache error log. How are you accessing phpmyadmin? http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/?
Paste your httpd.conf.
It maybe that your have autoindexes turned off, and your DirectoryIndex directive doesn't contain index.php.

Hi there,

I was tired having such problems with configurations of PHP, phpMyAdmin etc, so I looked for an alternative, you can try it out too:

http://vertrigo.sourceforge.net/

It's called vertrigo server, you just install ist as a normal Win application and you have everything there - PHP, MySQL ... No problems whatsoever so far and I am using it for about 2 years now. I'm really satisfied.

edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

Remove or comment the first two lines with the arrow

#Order Allow,Deny <---
#Deny from all <--
Allow from 127.0.0.1

And restart the apache server.

service httpd restart
