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<http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/13PermissionDenied>? 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)? - Y On Wed, Oct 9, 2013 at 7:34 PM, Timothy Curchod <timof...@hotmail.com>wrote: > Thanks for the reply Yehuda.
