The error.log said apache didn't have permission. I'm not running RH or family (I'm on Linux Mint), so I don't think selinux is active. I've had fun with that at uOttawa.
auseach was not installed, but journalctl -b gave a huge output. It showed rather a lot of complaints, I suspect because I recently upgraded to LM 19.1 Tessa and things haven't quite settled yet. One of the line did mention "udisksd[1108]: failed to load module mdraid: libbd_mdraid.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" The disk is accessible by most tools, but perhaps as this was just under "Starting Network Manager Script", it is relevant.
