[RESOVLED] Getting HTTP 500 accessing phpMyAdmin

Howdy y'all!

I'm setting up phpMyAdmin on a fresh install of Archlinux. Reckon I've tinkered too much and mess something wrong but apache and php working fine except when i go to /phpmyadmin. I'm getting a HTTP error 500. I looked in the apache log and found this:

[Tue Aug 16 05:25:04.721622 2016] [:error] [pid 671] [client 10.0.2.2:55357] PHP Fatal error: session_start(): Failed to initialized storage module: file: files (path: ) in /usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin/libraries/session.inc.php on line 104

In my phpmyadmin.conf is

 
Alias /phpmyadmin "usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin"
<Directory "/usr/share/webapps/phpMyAdmin">
              DirectoryIndex index.php
              AllowOverride All
              Options FollowSymlinks
              Require all granted
</Directory>

I have refollowed the wiki to see if i missed a step. Searched google and still banging my head. I'm thinking there a file permission error somewhere. I have tried changing the folder/files to 0775/0644. All the files in webapps/phpMyAdmin is showing its

-rw-r--r-- root:root

. If it is a permission problem, does anyone know the expected folder/file permissions /usr/share/webapps/{folders} and /srv/http/ should have? This is a VM for test development with no GUI.
