<p>Using suexec is always a chore. Using it with selinux in enforcing mode is even more so.</p>
<p>The default web page on a new install of Centos works outside of suexec. If it is failing, the basic apache config is hosed. Create a vanilla index.html file with a super simple content like plain text and put it in /var/www/html, restart apache and look for the root dir of the web service. You will need to tweak httpd.conf to define suexec user on a per virtual site basis.<br>
Additionally, selinux settings are required to match the user dir settings plus be web objects. If the site is internal static only pages, disable selinux. If it is running a public facing web app, you may want to pull in the EPEL repo and get the selinux and apache from there as that is more like the fedora versions where the selinux is more complete.</p>

I just loaded CentOS 5.4 into a server. The web page will not come<br>
up. So I cleaned out the error log and tried it once. At that<br>
point, error_log had the following data.<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
It looks like it has something to do with SELinux. The httpd.conf<br>
file says that Apache is running as apache.<br>
<br>
Any help would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
