title: Can't connect to phpmyadmin in Bitnami instance hosted by AWS
body: <p>I'm trying to connect to phpmyadmin through my Public DNS and I can't seem to get it to work.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried following these directions: </p>

  <blockquote>
    <p>By default phpMyAdmin is restricted to localhost. If you want it to be
    accessible from anywhere you should follow the steps described in “How
    to enable phpMyAdmin or phpPgAdmin?” in virtual machines FAQ:</p>
    
    <p>SSH to the instance Replace the line “Allow from 127.0.0.1” with
    “Allow from all” in the file
    /opt/bitnami/apps/phpmyadmin/conf/phpmyadmin.conf Restart apache: sudo
    /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The problem with this solution is that I don't have a phpmyadmin.conf file in that directory.  I found this pertaining to that <a href="http://community.bitnami.com/t/phpmyadmin-conf-does-not-exist-in-the-phpmyadmin-folder/14293/5" rel="noreferrer">Phpmyadmin.conf does not exist in the phpmyadmin folder</a>, but that didn't allow me to access.</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Check the /opt/bitnami/apps/phpmyadmin/htdocs/config.inc.php and
    change the “$cfg[‘PmaAbsoluteUri’]” option with your URL. </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I'm still getting the same <code>For security reasons, this URL is only accesible using localhost (127.0.0.1) as the hostname</code> error and it's driving me mad.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?  If needed, I can readily post relevant content from configuration files.</p>
