<DIV>Hagen,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks, you found the problem!!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>FC3 introduced "SELinux" (Security Enhanced Linux) with new security features. These features are enabled by default. </DIV>
<DIV>
<P class=vspace></P>
<P>I read the links you provided and decided the easiest thing to try was to disable the extra security by editing /etc/selinux/config file, changing from "enforcing" to "disabled." </P>
<P class=vspace></P>
<P> #SELINUX=enforcing<BR> SELINUX=disabled</P>
<P>Now Apache and pmwiki work OK. I'm not worried about the security aspect because my setup is on an internal intranet.</P></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
