Thank you for that explanation.  I kind of thought something like that was the answer but was not sure.

In Apache and subsequently in the VirtualHost entries you can define DocumentRoot however you like:

It's not going to be changed by a "rpm install" etc.

Your configuration for DocumentRoot points to:

DocumentRoot /var/www/www.myurl.com

Therefore to access your PhpMyAdmin, you would need to place it into:

/var/www/www.myurl.com/phpmyadmin/

# mv /var/www/phpMyAdmin-3.4.3.1 /var/www/www.myurl.com

and

change:

<DirectoryMatch "/var/www/phpMyAdmin-3.4.3.1-

english">

to 

<DirectoryMatch "/var/www/www.myurl.com/phpMyAdmin-3.4.3.1-

english">

FACT:  You cannot server a directory outside of DocumentRoot without both a symlink and an allow symlinks statement in your apache configuration option (in your VirtualHost configuration)

As you can see, you don't have either:

    <DirectoryMatch "/var/www/phpMyAdmin-3.4.3.1-

english">
      AllowOverride All
      Options None
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
    </DirectoryMatch>

I have a test apache install with several Virtual hosts,  I am trying to install myPhpAdmin in a directory off of /var/www but I can not get it to be recognized (404 error)

the virtual host contents are in directories off of /var/www (i.e. /var/www/www.myurl.com and /var/www/phpMyAdmin-3.4.3.1-english

The server is working correctly and serving the appropriate domains, I just can not get www.myurl.com/phpMyAdmin-3.4.3.1-english to work......

Any help would be great......
