How does the use of FastCGI impact access permissions in phpMyAdmin on an Apache 2.2 server?

When using FastCGI with Apache 2.2, the access permissions for phpMyAdmin may need to be adjusted to ensure proper functionality. One common issue is that FastCGI runs PHP scripts as the user specified in the FastCGI configuration, which may not have the necessary permissions to access phpMyAdmin files. To solve this, you can adjust the permissions of the phpMyAdmin directory to allow the FastCGI user to access the files.

<Directory "/path/to/phpMyAdmin">
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
