Make sure your httpd-readable files have the correct context:
$ chcon -R -t httpd_user_content_t /home/michael/public_html/www
Paul.
Never mind, changed my configuration to use the method at
http://httpd.apache.org/doc/2.0/vhosts/mass.html#simple and now SELinux
works when I allow access to home directories.
Though I will have to study what chcon mans: I know it means change
context, but I will have to get used to it with cmod and chown.
Thanks though.
