Well I've looked all over and the only way I can get apache to serve files in subdirectories below www/html/ is to de-select Enforcing Current: in the the Security Level Configuration SELinux options. [Fri Dec 31 12:22:01 2004] [error] [client 192.168.2.25] (13)Permission denied: access to /jj/index.php denied de-select enforcing current and it works. I don't see anything in php.ini or httpd.conf. It's affecting the /var/www/cgi-bin/qmailadmin also. qmailadmin complains it cant find the /var/qmail/users/access. with enforcing current selected. Is this the only to get this to work? I really like the added security. Thanks swalker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
