Verify that you have turned off SElinux, check the file

No good advise! Why do you say so? Don't switch off security settings
just because you don't know how to deal with them correctly. There is
documentation
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/
I'll second that statement. Sure, there are times when you might have
a server in a well protected environment, and don't have any need for
SELinux, and it may be safe to suggest turning it off. But for the
majority of users and environments, you will want to keep it on.
Find out why the door is closed, and learn how to open it.
Don't knock a big hole through it so anyone can come in.
I guess i should have added that you should verify this, and then
slowly add back in the security, so you know what works and what
doesn't. I agree that this would cause a security hole, if left
disabled.
