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.
I'm running FC2 at the moment, and I just duplicated what you did (even changed the perms to match your /space/vhosts/ dir), and it worked fine for me. Can you try to run '*system-config-securitylevel' and turn off SELinux for the httpd daemon and try it again? If it still doesn't work, run '**system-config-securitylevel' again and turn it back on.
Let us know what happens.
