phpmyadmin security

I have a production server with apache2, php, mysql. I have just one site right now (mysite.com) as a virtual host. I want to put phpmyadmin, webalizer, and maybe webmin on there. So far, I installed phpmyadmin, and it works but the whole internet can go to mysite.com/phpmyadmin

How can I reduce the visibility to say 192.168.0.0/16 so it's just accessible to machines behind my firewall?

• You would use a module in Apache called mod_access

  You can either configure it in your apache config file or within a .htaccess file in the directory's root.

  Here's a short example

  <Directory /your_folder/location>
      Order Deny,Allow
      Deny from all
     Allow from 123.123.123.123
  </Directory>
  

• Use the <Location> directive (either in server configuration or if it is allowed, in .htaccess). In there, you can use Allow from to deny access to everyone else except some certain source.

• 1) You can do it at the Webserver level.

  Use allow/deny rules for apache. If you don't have direct access to your apache configuration file, you may use a .htaccess file.

  <Directory /docroot>
      Order Deny,Allow
      Deny from all
      Allow from 10.1.2.3
  </Directory>
  

  2) You can do it at the application level using the phpmyadmin config file.

  The configuration parameter is: $cfg['Servers'][$i]['AllowDeny']['rules']

  Examples of rules are:

  'all' -> 0.0.0.0/0
  'localhost' -> 127.0.0.1/8
  'localnetA' -> SERVER_ADDRESS/8
  'localnetB' -> SERVER_ADDRESS/16
  'localnetC' -> SERVER_ADDRESS/24
  

  You can see this on the official phpMyAdmin configuration documentation.

  Nick : I did option #2 with adding /usr/share/phpmyadmin to allow 192.168.0.0/16 and it seems to have worked. Thanks.

  Adam Jaskiewicz : Option 2 is the way to go. Simpler, and I'd rather block it before it got to running any PHP period.

  Wadih M. : Okay, I moved the Apache option in the first place.

  Wadih M. : So that people don't get confused: for all comments earlier than that one, when they say option #2 they're actually referring to the Webserver option.
