1 - permissions for user apache to access directory.
I thought Apache was an application or a service. It's also a user in need of rights?
[dave@localhost ~]$ ls -ld /home drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 4 19:45 /home [dave@localhost ~]$ ls -ld /home/dave drwx------ 63 dave dave 4096 Oct 13 23:55 /home/dave [dave@localhost ~]$ ls -ld /home/dave/web drwxrwxrwx 3 dave dave 4096 Oct 11 06:20 /home/dave/web
does user apache have ability to descend? _rwxr_xr_x
If I read the above results correctly, /home/dave/web/ should be open to anyone. So shouldn't apache also be able to read it?

2 - selinux ?
I seem to remember that for some setting ages ago, I had selinux disabled. But how can I be sure?

ps - changing permissions of a link is pointless, the permissions are derived for the original file
Okay. Thank you for that tip.
