How to Fix PHPMyAdmin 403 Forbidden Error

If you have installed phpMyAdmin in your linux server (centos/RHEL/debian), and tried to access phpMyAdmin in most cases you will get this 403 forbidden error. I have seen this issue very often if you are installing phpmyadmin using yum or by apt-get. By default phpmyadmin installed path is /usr/share/phpmyadmin and the apache configuration file is located in /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf
