After installing phpMyAdmin on Amazon Linux using these commands...:

sudo yum --enablerepo=epel install phpmyadmin
sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/html/phpmyadmin

... I have tried the steps described in this tutorial (referred to in previous StackOverflow Answers), but do get the following error message after issuing the command

sudo chmod 0700 /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf: File or Directory not found.

How can I get phpMyAdmin running on Amazon Linux?

You can install phpmyadmin rpm package by yum command to enabling epel repositories

yum --enablerepo=epel install phpmyadmin

You'll then have to change the phpMyAdmin config file to allow access from your IP.

Oh and you probably need to change your sudo command to be case sensitive. Double check your filename, but on my system it would be

sudo chmod 0700 /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

When I first tried to install phpMyAdmin on Amazon Linux, I got some trouble; even though, I had already using epel-release options.

What I did was:

sudo yum install epel-release
sudo yum install phpmyadmin

I got error

No package phpmyadmin available.

If you got the same error you could try

sudo rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm

then

sudo yum --enablerepo=remi install phpmyadmin

should works.

As previous post said, you might need update the conf of phpmyadmin on Apache for public access. After

sudo chmod 0700 /etc/httpd/conf.d/phpMyAdmin.conf

You should update the config 

<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
 # Apache 2.2
 Order Deny,Allow
 Allow from All
 #Deny from All
 #Allow from 127.0.0.1
 #Allow from ::1
</IfModule>

then you should be able to access phpMyAdmin by http://domainname.com/phpMyAdmin now.

There's a great tutorial in the Amazon EC2 documentation that covers installing a LAMP web server stack on Amazon Linux. One of the optional procedures in that topic includes installing phpMyAdmin.
