Easter holidays, Fedora Core 5 and Fedora-apache setup

Its holiday time and the long weekend of easter has come. Planning to install Fedora core 5 from the dvd version. I was toying with apache to get it work for new files and dirs instead the root directory but it is getting tough and testing my patience. It is because of the SELinux enabled. The following steps will help to enable apache out of SELinux security grip, but beware and weigh your decision before attempting to free up httpd.

Go to your specific dir and run

ls -Z -d my_support/
chcon -R -t httpd_user_content_t my_support/

This will fix the SELinux httpd security config and allow the files to be served by the webserver.
