Hello,
I'm using the latest CentOS with phpBB 3.0.x + postgreSQL + sendmail (relayed through gmail.com) - all those programs working fine, with no big modifications of the CentOS defaults (i.e. SELinux is on).
Now I'm struggling with the seemingly simple problem, that when I put an .html file into /var/www/html/ then Apache won't serve it.
In the browser I see:
"Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /Alex.html on this server. Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at XXXX Port 80"
In the /var/log/httpd/error_log (I've set "LogLevel debug") I only see:
"[error] [client 10.216.40.68] (13)Permission denied: access to /Alex.html denied [error] [client 10.216.40.68] (13)Permission denied: access to /Alex.html denied"
The other filetypes like crossdomain.xml and index.php or hello-world.php are served just fine. Also, if I move my *.html files under /var/www/html/test/ - then they are served ok.
The permissions are ok in my book:
# ls -al Alex.html index.php hello-world.php -r--r--r-- 1 root root 599 Sep 29 15:49 Alex.html -rw-r--r-- 1 afarber afarber 33 Jul 29 11:32 hello-world.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5631 Jun 27 09:38 index.php

I've looked into /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and conf.d/ files...
Does anybody know what is wrong, how to find out?
Regards Alex
