[Cialug] CentOS httpd

[Kyle Hamilton]

Check if selinux is enabled with 'getenforce'. You can search for 'fail' 
by using 'less /var/log/audit/auth.log' fressing 'G' to go the the end 
of the file, pressing '?' to do a reverse search, typing fail, hitting 
enter to finally search. Use n to go to next result, and N to go to 
previous search result. Selinux is most likely your problem.

Do not set selinux to permissive, just go over the small learning hump 
to learn it instead IMO since selinux is great for security. Make sure 
it has the correct selinux type with 'ls -Z' to show selinux info. Use 
chcon -t to change selinux type if needed to match the other files 
around it that are successfully used.

Hope this helps!
