Hi Francis,
Wow, this gets stranger......who have cracked it for me....but i have no idea how or why it got there!
there were symlinks in website1.com and website3.com roots public directories for phpmyadmin - symlinked to /usr/share/phpmyadmin.
I never noticed them though as they didnt appear as a folder when browsing the public folder structure with an FTP program.
Only doing as ls on /website1.com/public did it show it.
Removed symlink to /usr/share/phpmyadmin in the 2 root folders and now i get a 404 page if navigatng to /phpmyadmin.....Perfect! :-)
As you can probably tell im primarily a Windows admin and Linux knowledge is limited, thanks to people like yourself though im learning!
PS - Index.php does exists in the public root folders - but the file belongs to WordPress.
PPS - You say:
> if ($http_cookie ~* £PHPSESSID"){
>If that is a copy-paste of the config file, then it probably won't match
>some things that you would want it to.
Could you elaborate on this please if you have time?
Thankyou for your time and help Francis, its most appreciated.
