SELinux and Apache Permission Denied

Hi, Today I have new problem with my apache 2.0 installation. It stop Picking document root files and give Permission denied Error in Apache Error log for those folders ... Seems strange to me. I give FULL permission to that folder, try each and every combination of permission and owner that I think should work, but no use. Why ... as this is first time I was running apache on SELinux enable system. It is "Extended Security for Linux" Thanks to this post in Experts Exchange I got the solution http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web/Web_Servers/Apache/Q_21171001.html Last comment by kbensch is correct solution It says to check the object Permission in extended mode with ls -Z /dir/where/www/root/will/be and than change it to permit httpd service to use it as its own data rather than users data using chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /dir/where/www/root/will/be Though not sure what effect it has on user accessing this data ... as i am still new to linux and it has Extended Security now ... Thanks to Experts exchange to bank that question for me :) Sumit Gupta (My Experts Exchange UserName is VIkasumit :o) )
