Hi,
I am not expert in linux but have general idea of using it. I am struggling to access he phpmyadmin link from my server.
when i visit

Code: 
http://IPaddress/phpmyadmin

I get the following error on page

Code: 
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I tried to fix it by applying the fix I found on internet :
Code: 
http://senthilthoppur.blogspot.ae/2012/09/you-don-have-permission-to-access.html

for the command:
Code: 
ls -ld /var/www
instead of getting
Code: 
dr-xr-x--- 9 webapps apache 4096 Sep  2 14:43 /var/www

I get
Code: 
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jun 18 18:22 /var/www

If my permission messed up? How do I fix it? I dont know the command to fix it
 
Also can some one please look at my httpd.conf file entries, what am I missing in it.
