Yes, to use localhost an username it has to be the username
to use localhost as root then root is ok.
That's why I suggested chown root:username so both owner and group have ownership.

I belive I changed it to that, I'll check when I'm home.
I noticed that the owner after default install is root:root is there a reason for this if that's not correct?

    Please set up permission to apache user, probably it will be chmod
    apache:apache /var/www/http

    Aye should have mentioned I've tried the solution that is given
    in the SEL popup, but doesn't help.
    I'll try to change the permissions as in your suggestion when I
    have access to the computer again.

    I've tried both Drupal and Joomla and each has it's merits - to
    each their own =)

        I'm trying to set up Joomla on my laptop to play around with
        a site I'm planning. However SELinux seems to block write
        access for the installation routine to the direcotry
        /var/www/html and none of the solutions I've found by
        googling to allow SELinux httpd write access seems to work
        (installation hangs immediately). setenforce 0 deosn't have
        any effect either as far as I can tell, as I still can't
        install Joomla. Anyone successfully installed Joomla 3 on
        Fedora 19 please can tell how I should proceed?
        I used Drupal for years for building sites and testing before
        moving to Rails, and to a tee, all the problems on localhost
        are permissions and ownership based. SEL will complain and
        give you the correction it requires to fix the SEL problem.

        It may be that /var/www/html has root ownership and closed
        permissions.
        On my local machine I have to chmod 776 the /var/www/html
        folder then check the permissions so that chown is, for
        instance, apache:my_user in /html folder, for ubuntu it's
        /var/www/www-data that needs the permissions and ownership
        changed.
        do the install then check.

        I have not found Joomla suitable, It's easy to use but very
        limited, my 0.2c worth.
