Then have a peek at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/ Also, does the user's home directory have at least the executable bit set for "other?" What is the output of ls -ld /home/[username] If it is something like this: [root@thomas ~]# ls -ld /home/thomas drwx------ 4 thomas thomas 4096 Nov 22 10:54 /home/thomas then you can probably clear up your problem by issuing the command (as root): chmod 701 /home/[username] For example: [root@thomas ~]# chmod 701 /home/thomas [root@thomas ~]# ls -ld /home/thomas drwx-----x 4 thomas thomas 4096 Nov 22 10:54 /home/thomas Now the user apache has execute access to /home/thomas and since the httpd runs as user apache it should work.
