Just installed Fedora Core 5.
Without doing any configuration, just starting httpd, when I browse to
the server I get the default welcome message just fine.
So I comment the lines out of /etc/httd/conf.d/welcome.conf, and put a
basic index.html file in /var/www/html/ and I get:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora) Server at 192.168.0.58 Port 80

I made sure it's permission is 755, and same thing.

So I look in /var/log/messages and see this:

Apr 23 19:50:23 localhost kernel: audit(1145839823.518:19): avc:
denied { getattr } for pid=2169 comm="httpd" name="index.html"
dev=hda3 ino=2918174 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t:s0
tcontext=system_ubject_r:file_t:s0 tclass=file

I searched the newsgroups for possible fixes and based on what I found
I checked such things properly formed <Directory>, define VirtualHost,
AllowOverides.

Not sure what else I can do.
Below is a copy of my httpd.conf (without the commented out lines.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-Liam

Immediately after posting this, I found a newsgroup comment regarding
SELinux.
So I searched about that.
Come to find out, that can cause the errors.
So more searching, and I found:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinu...html#id2826243
"Q: My application isn't working as expected and I am seeing avc:
denied messages, how do I fix this? "

So I ran "restorecon -R" in /var/www/html/ and all of a sudden
everything works again.
Sheesh!
Hope this s someone else with this problem!

I'm sure it will others. Thank you for taking time to post the
