Question Forbidden access to adminer

[HairLoss]

Hi, I am trying to install adminer, a mysql web interface, so that I can administer all my databases from one logon and don't get timed out so often. However, though I have followed some simple online instructions I get the 403 Forbidden access message when I try to fire up adminer.

Adminer was installed to usr/share/adminer and a configuration file was created at /etc/httpd/conf.d/adminer.conf as follows;

Alias /adminer "/usr/share/adminer"
<Directory "/usr/share/adminer">
AllowOverride All
Options FollowSymlinks
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from [my home IP address]
</Directory>

I have tried calling the program with my server IP address and a domain registered on the VPS but with no success.

I have read that there may be conflicting apache rules in the system httpd.conf file but I have only been able to find such files associated with specific domains.

Does anyone have any suggestions that might get adminer working?

Thanks

First thing that comes into my mind is whether you are using Nginx as a proxy. That can mean that you need to open the website on port 7080, e.g. www.mydomain.com:7080 to reach Apache. Second thought is that the home IP address might be wrong. And have you checked that httpd service was restarted after the new configuration file was installed? Really, many different things can influence the behavior.
