Alright, let's break this down—you're hitting a classic Apache DocumentRoot vs. external directory issue, and yes, it's absolutely a configuration problem. Here are two solid fixes to get phpMyAdmin accessible at localhost/phpmyadmin:

Fix 1: Create a Symbolic Link to Your Project Directory

Since Apache's DocumentRoot is set to ~/Sites/Meetings, it only looks for files and directories inside that folder when you hit localhost. To make phpmyadmin appear as a subdirectory here, create a symbolic link (soft link) pointing to your actual phpMyAdmin folder:

Open your terminal and run this command:

ln -s ~/Sites/phpmyadmin ~/Sites/Meetings/phpmyadmin

Next, ensure Apache is allowed to follow symbolic links. Open your httpd.conf file and locate the <Directory> block for your Meetings folder (it’ll look like <Directory "/Users/YourUsername/Sites/Meetings">). Update it to include FollowSymLinks in the Options line:
```
<Directory "/Users/YourUsername/Sites/Meetings">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>
```
Restart Apache to apply changes (use sudo apachectl restart on macOS, or sudo systemctl restart apache2 on most Linux distros).

Fix 2: Add an Alias Directly in Apache Configuration

If you don’t want a symbolic link cluttering your project directory, you can configure Apache to map the /phpmyadmin URL directly to your phpMyAdmin folder using an Alias:

Open httpd.conf and add these lines (preferably near other Alias directives or at the bottom of the file):
```
Alias /phpmyadmin "/Users/YourUsername/Sites/phpmyadmin"

<Directory "/Users/YourUsername/Sites/phpmyadmin">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>
```
Note: Replace YourUsername with your actual system username—using an absolute path avoids issues with Apache not resolving ~ correctly.
Save the file and restart Apache as before.

Quick Permission Check

If you still encounter errors after trying either fix, double-check that Apache’s runtime user (usually _www on macOS, www-data on Linux) has access to your phpMyAdmin folder:

# For macOS
chmod -R 755 ~/Sites/phpmyadmin
chown -R _www:_www ~/Sites/phpmyadmin

# For Linux
chmod -R 755 ~/Sites/phpmyadmin
chown -R www-data:www-data ~/Sites/phpmyadmin
