Pls help: strange permission denied problem

Hi all,

I got permission denied error when accessing a directory which is world
readable (755 for directories and 644 for files). Attached is snap of
my httpd.conf. I've no problem in accessing /data1/* but got
permission denied /data2/*.

I'm using bundled httpd 2.0.53-3.3 on Fedora Core 3.
Would any one please help? Sorry for the newbie question.

Thank you very much.
ST Wong

The obvious questions are: Do you have SELinux enabled, and are SELinux
permissions set to allow webserving from other directories? (That may
require a configuration of SELinux as well as tweaking of file and
directory permissions.) There's a FAQ about this (Apache and SELinux) on
the Fedora website.
