If you're running Apache on Fedore Core 4 and SELinux is enabled, Apache won't be able to see anything in AFS. The easiest solution is to disable SELinux, but then you don't get any of SELinux's protections.

Alternatively, you can use audit2why to find out what it is about your SELinux policy that's keeping it from working.

   /usr/sbin/audit2why < /var/log/audit/audit.log

This will produce a lot of stuff if audit.log is very large. It explains what's wrong. Another utility, audit2allow, tells you what you need to change to make the entries in audit.log go away in the future.

SELinux is cool, but there's a whole new level of security to learn about. And of course, if you aren't running SELinux, none of this matters...

Does anybody have any experience with using an AFS directory as a
virtual directory of an Apache server running on Linux? If yes, could
you give me some pointers on making this work? Just for the sake of
trying, I created a symlink inside the /var/www/html directory that
points to the AFS directory. I can browse the directory fine as a root
or any other user, but Apache refuses to recognize it. It has to do
with authentication I believe, but not sure on how to tackle this
problem.

Thanks.
