I’m attempting to install Hobbit and at the point of web access via Apache.

The error_log states:

(13)Permission denied: access to /hobbit denied

I’ve tried a number of things and am still getting this:

1.              /hobbit is located in /home/hobbit/server/www
   
   

2.              Made sure all files are in the apache group
   
   

3.              I’ve even chcon the files to httpd_sys_content_t
   
   
   
   

Does CentOs 4.3 have SELinux enabled as shipped? (I’m not producing any files in /var/log/audit) (How do you tell if it’s active?)

edit the file:

/etc/sysconfig/selinux and set per the instructions there. If changes are needed, reboot the machine.

The directory (and all others up the path to /) need to have:

rwxr-xr-x permissions ... and the files inside the directory need:

rw-r--r--

cgi files need rwxr-xr-x

If the owner and group of the files and/or the directory are the apache user and group ...then the last 3 can be --- for all the above permissions.

so...

rw-r-----

and rwxr-x---

etc.
