You get "permission denied" error from Apache HTTPD for a page. And you checked file/directory permissions (the whole directory path, not just the file) and everything in httpd.conf. If everything seemed right, then SELinux may be blocking the access.

Open /var/log/httpd/error_log, you may see a line like this:


These are the steps to fix:

1. If the directory resides in a user home directory:
   

   # setsebool -P httpd_read_user_content 1
   

   
   
2. Create a policy package from the audit log:
   

   # grep httpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
   ******************** IMPORTANT ***********************
   To make this policy package active, execute:
   
   semodule -i mypol.pp
   

   
   
3. Apply the policy package just created
   

   # semodule -i mypol.pp
   

   
   
4. Restart apache httpd:
   

   # apachectl restart
