[mod_python] Permissions issue

Tom,
  You were absolutely right, this is an SELinux issue. I had played around with chmods but was under the impression SELinux was not enforced. I temporarily turned it off with
   
  echo 0 >/selinux/enforce
   
  and everything works. Do you know specifically what I need to alter in order to be able to keep SELinux on? I am a complete novice at SELinux so this is terra incognita for me. Is the below command just an example or is httpd_sys_content_t*  what I need to target? Many thanks, it's a great relief after many hours of experimenting, even though i should have thought of this myself.

  You don't say whether or not you're running a linux with selinux. If so, you 
might make sure you've set your selinux permissions accordingly. I use 
"ls -lZ" to look and see, and the following to change them (from some 
interesting root)

#chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t *

I assume you've already done the usual chmod experiments with no success.
