I just installed Fedora Core 3 on my server (a reformat from RedHat9) and I'm having problems with my webserver.

Short and sweet:

I have a partition mounted to /web and thats the directory I'm using to serve files. I have DocumentRoot "/web/html" and [Directory "/web/html"] correctly stated in the conf file, but when I try to start apache, it tells me "DocumentRoot must be a directory"

II just doesnt seem to like serving files from any mounted drive unless its part of / I've tried mounting it to other places, but that doesnt help either.

The only way httpd will load correctly is if the directory is on hda2 (/).




Lines 265-291 from /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

DocumentRoot "/web/html"

#
# Each directory to which Apache has access can be configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None


#
# Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow
# particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as
# you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
# below.
#

#
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
[Directory "/web/html"]

Then when I try to start httpd:

[root@tuxserver conf]# service httpd start
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 265 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot must be a directory [FAILED]

And yes, /web/html is a directory:

[root@tuxserver conf]# ls -l /web

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, all.

[Edit] I found out today that there are problems with Apache and SELinux. Heh, who knew, lol.
