I unpacked webcalendar and placed it in its own directory under the
root html directory (var/www/html). I can read
/var/www/html/webcal/index.html but if I try to access
/var/www/html/index.php or readme.html I get a 403 access to that file
is denied error (the error log has a permission denied entry). I have
tried different permission combinations including 777, 644, 755, 711).
I have a standard .htaccess file with no directives. The httpd.conf
file is default with user/group default to apache, apache. The webcal
directory ownership/group is root.root (I also tried apache.apache).
But nothing has worked so far. I am running a fedora core 4.

Any is greatly appreciated.

With Fedora Core 3, at least, SELinux *adds* *more* restrictions to what
can be served, that might still be the case with Fedora Core 3. There's a
FAQ about this on the Fedora website:
<http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/>

See if that s you out.

Tim,

Thank you for the SELinux reference. That was the problem - I used
chcon to allow access to the files and everything was accessible.

Gratefully yours.
