You don't have permission to access /php.php on this server.

Looks more like you had changed DocumentRoot to "/"

All files and directories are labeled with a type according to SELinux policy.

Type following command as root and see what type the file is.

ls -Z /var/www/html/<your file path> Ex: ls -Z /var/www/html/index.html

if it has read access then it should show type as httpd_sys_content_t. if it is something else like "user_home_t" or "samba_share_t" then you won't be able to access it even if it has write permission on your linux box.

drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 /var/www/html/index.html

run the following command to change the type of the file and restart the server. you should be able to access.

chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/index.html

to make it permanent

semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/index.html

then restart your server.

I know it's an old thread, but I wanted to add this anyway as it may very well help someone.

I'm running Apache ITK on the server in question and kept getting this in the error log:

Found that there was a VirtualHost which was lacking the AssignUserId directive. So the files were all owned by itkuserxxx:itkuserxxx but apache was running as the default nobody:nobody.

Don't post nonsense to old threads.
Httpd does not run as nobody.nobody.
