Correct.

Incorrect. The index is a convenience. Without it directories with the
right permissions are still accessible with a direct url. So there's not
much point enabling indexes when you use an index file to avoid the
index showing up...

The man page for restorecon explicitly states it does not follow
symlinks, and it might not cross file system boundaries either, so make
sure they are not causing your issue.

You have to make sure apache can access the whole path, meaning you need
at least o+x on all directories in the path. This is quite likely *not*
the case for /home/rgm.
