permission denied

you just need to change context for a few hobbit directories, to make Hobbit
happy on RHEL4 or FC2(3?)+.

Hi Henrik, it's been a long time. Yes, I did include the
hobbit-apache.conf piece in the httpd.conf file.  (and I only made
the permissions 777 to troubleshoot this), but it makes no
difference. It is running on RHEL 4.0, apache 2.0, and I can't see
what else would be restricting permission to /hobbit/. Got

any ideas?

You do have at least  a+x access on every directory in the

path to the

hobbit directory, right??  Or equivalent group access for the
webserver group??  If not, your web server won't be able to

traverse

the path to get there...

Yes sir I do. I went one step further and gave every
directory from / to the hobbit directory 777 permissions. How
could access be denied?

YOU ARE CORRECT SIR !!  I was just thinking the same thing and disabling
SElinux when I got your email! The system was a little bit TOO secure.
thanks for everyone's help!
