Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Apache, Virtual Servers and SELinux: msg#00079

Subject: Apache, Virtual Servers and SELinux
Hi all,

I installed Apache on an FC4 machine, and I was trying to get Virtual servers working. To do so, I had the following name based virtual servers. I placed the following directives (among others) in my httpd.conf file:

~~~~~~~~~~~~
# Virtual host default
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.25>
    ServerName default
   DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
   DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index.shtml
    LogLevel debug
    HostNameLookups off
</VirtualHost>

# Virtual host michael
<VirtualHost 192.168.1.25>
   ServerAdmin mshaw@xxxxxxxxx
   DocumentRoot /home/michael/public_html/www
   ServerName michael
   DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "/var/www/html">
       Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
       Allow from all
       Order allow,deny
</Directory>

<Directory "/home/*/public_html/www">
       Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
       AllowOverride None
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
</Directory>
~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was very fristrated that the virtual server michael get giving me access denied errors. I disabled SELinux and everythign worked. So I tried fiddling away with all the HTTPD settings but cou;dn't get it to work with SELinux on, including "Allow HTTPD to read home directories".

I have seen references to this on the Internet but not a cure. Which check box am I missing?
