Hi,

I installed FC3 and I wanted to move my apache2 documentroot from its default /var/www/html to another volume located at /space/vhosts. When I do this apache2 complains:

Syntax error on line 265 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot must be a directory

This is a directory and is writeable by me, and has the user apache access to list and read its files. Yet, for some reason, apache doesn't like this volume.

What do you get when you do a 'grep -i documentroot /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf'

and a 'ls -l /space/' ?

I get:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
#DocumentRoot "/space/vhosts"

The second entry I comment out and try both. I get that error when the DocumentRoot "/space/vhosts" is used.

For the 2nd request I get:

[root@utopia karen]# ls -l /space/
total 48
drwxr-sr-x   2 karen karen  4096 Nov 12 02:18 Anonymous_FTP

drwxr-sr-x  58 karen karen  4096 Nov 14 13:14 vhosts

try setting the user (owner) of vhosts to the user apache is runnig.
