C#/ASP.NET

just installed apache via:

yum groupinstall "Web Server"

added user:

/usr/sbin/useradd -m jobsite -G apache

couple of things, start the web server using
/etc/init.d/httpd start does start and shows the fedora
start page.

now on to the /etc/httpd/conf directory.

i have changed Document root in httpd.conf to:

DocumentRoot "/home/jobsite"

and commented out all the lines in file /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf

i now get the following when i try to browse "http://localhost/" :

-------------------------------------- http response -------------------------------------------
Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/2.2.9 (Fedora) Server at localhost Port 80

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

did this

You got "DocumentRoot must be a directory" error even it is really a
directory because of SELinux extensions. Run
system-config-securitylevel (or redhat-config-securitylevel) to
disable SELinux for httpd or give SELinux permissions to that
directory:
chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /path/to/directory

More help at: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/index.html

this is based on the web page http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/LinuxTutorialMySQL.html

i wanted verify a couple of things.
the start up script is in /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start
and there is a directory in /var/lib/mysql

i started the web server
/etc/rc.d/init.d/mysqld start

this does indeed start the database.
