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...

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

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?
Make sure your httpd-readable files have the correct context:
$ chcon -R -t httpd_user_content_t /home/michael/public_html/www
Paul.
Never mind, changed my configuration to use the method at
http://httpd.apache.org/doc/2.0/vhosts/mass.html#simple and now SELinux
works when I allow access to home directories.
Though I will have to study what chcon mans: I know it means change
context, but I will have to get used to it with cmod and chown.
Thanks though.
Michael
