Hi again,
Here is the result of the command you suggested Yehuda:

By the way, in the first e-mail, you might have seen the 'all' in the
<Directory "/var/www/html">When I restarted the server, it complained about
that, so I commented it out, despite the notes about it in the file.<Directory
"/var/www/html"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks # AllowOverride controls
what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be "All", "None",
or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#AllowOverride None #all Require all granted</Directory>
Regarding the SELinux suspicion, I tried the suggestions in that wiki before my
first post. That's where I learned the "ls -alZ" command. I should have put
these in that e-mail. Here are the results on the pertinent folders:
drwxrwxr-x. apache apache system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 www
drwxrwxr-x. apache apache system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 .drwxr-xr-x.
root root system_u:object_r:var_t:s0 ..drwxrwxr-x. apache apache
system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t:s0 cgi-bindrwxrwxr-x. apache apache
system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 html
-rwxr-xr-x. apache timothy unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 index.php
Actually I don't know how to use the "change file SELinux security context"
command. But as you can see, the html file setting is "httpd_sys_content_t",
but the index.php file is not. I did try these commands:cp /etc/selinux/config
/etc/selinux/config.bakDisable SELinuxsed -i
s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/g /etc/selinux/configI thought that would
disable SELinux to rule that out as a problem but it didn't appear to do
anything. Reading a little bit more about the chcon command I tried it out:
chcon -R --reference=info.php moodle
Then files like the index all have that same httpd_sys_content_t label which is
what Yehuda suggested. Still, there was no change in the Permission Denied
situation.
-rwxr-xr-x. apache apache unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 index.php
One thing I haven't looked at because I don't understand is the comment at the
end of the http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/13PermissionDenied article. Maybe
someone could translate this into some concrete steps I could try:"In rare
cases, this can be caused by other issues, such as a file permissions problem
elsewhere in your apache2.conf file. For example, a WSGIScriptAlias directive
not mapping to an actual file. The error message may not be accurate about
which file was unreadable."
Something funny is going on with the ip address however. When I go to
localhost, like I said before, it prints this message: "Incorrect access
detected, this server may be accessed only through "http://*.*.*.30:80/moodle";
address, sorry. Please notify server administrator. This page should
automatically redirect. If nothing is happening please use the continue link
below." The funny part is that the ip address does not end with a 30, but a
50, as Linksys shows, and Tomcat, working on port 8080 on another box shows.
So why does that message point to ...30:80/moodle? Strange.
Any other suggestions would really help,
Thanks in advance,
Timothy.

1. For the "http://*my ip*/moodle" problem:
It appears that there are no vhosts at all, so that should not get in the way.I
should have listed this before too: Can you check if apache is listening on all
ips?
netstat -ln | grep 80
2. For the localhost problem: I can't shake the feeling that this is SELinux
related, since your permissions look OK.Did you look at this wiki article? I
don't want to suggest anything you already tried.
Did you try changing the SELinux context (I think the correct one should be
httpd_sys_content_t)?

What am I doing wrong? Notice that info.php is in the documents directory and
I can access it fine.
-rw-r--r--. 1 apache root 20 Oct 9 11:32 info.php
I tried to create the page as my regular user, but was unable to save in that
directory, so I ended up creating it as root. How am I going to be able to work
on Moodle development if I can’t modify files in the www/html folder as a
regular user? This is a development server with one user, myself. Should I
make all the files match the permissions on info.php and do all my work as root?
Thanks for any help,
Timothy.

Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Permission Still Denied with Moodle
"AH00035: access to /moodle/ denied (filesystem path '/var/www/html/moodle')
because search permissions are missing on a component of the path"
This implies that the x permission is missing. You posted for every directory
except /var . What are its permissions?I have no idea if selinux could get in
the way or if setenforce 0 really gets rid of it.
Incorrect access detected, this server may be accessed only through "http://*my
ip*/moodle" address, sorry. Please notify server administrator.
Does Moodle modify the default 403 error page? That is probably what this is.
If I use http://*my ip*/moodle or http://*my ip*:80/moodle I get this error:
Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to *my ip*Is apache set to listen to an
IP besides 127.0.0.1?Run httpd -S for the list of active vhosts.

Hi,
I've tried a few times to setup moodle on LAMP but failed each time with the
following errors:

If I look in the /etc/httpd/logs/error_log I see:

The wiki says this is an error 13 which indicates a filesystem permissions
problem but I can't see where. I've looked at a lot of questions relating to
permission problems that people have had and it all seems to show that I have
things set up correctly, or have tried the things that should work.

welcomed.
