Apache2 permission denied error

[frank]

SELinux. I don't have a specific resolution for you, but that should point

Curiously, a search for "selinux" or "forbidden" comes up blank in the 
Nagios FAQ. This is a VERY common configuration error that I see on the 
list at least 3 times a month. Perhaps a relevant FAQ can be crafted?
