Re: [PLUG] USB mount as Apache DocumentRoot
|
Chad,
That was it!! I changed the policy in SELinux for apache, restarted and I can now access the USB drive files. Awesome!!! I had completely forgotten about the SELinux and it's security policies. I knew you guys would be able to help me. Thanks so much.
Actually, I found two ways to do it
1) disable SELinux for apache
setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans=1
2) Change the policy to let SELinux have access to new DocumentRoot
chcon -R system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t /my/new/docroot
