about 2 weeks ago, I set up my local apache server to use ~/public_html and drupal 7-7. I think most steps I did before it finally worked, are described here and here. These two sources were helpful for me.

[lightman47]

is the permission for home itself 771?

If it can't "pass thru" home it's going no where. (Has been my experience)

Couldnt he just use #chmod XXX -R ?

Hi I know this is a pretty old Thread, but I think I know the solution (cause I've had the same issue)...

I don't think that setting selinuxstate to permissive is enough. What I did (on FC17) which worked was:

* edited /etc/selinux/conf

and set one line to: disabled

* reboot

Now I have full access to my /home/ directory.

Damn Selinux really starts annoying me, I don't really understand why Fedora even includes this crap.

oh and also if you want to have access to your home directory (like me), don't forget to also set the correct rights on your / folder (was needed in my case)

Because most people prefer to have a secure and securable system.

I have the same configuration, but with SELinux enforcing security.

Works just fine when to turn on the proper SELinux booleans flags.
