Proper steps to enable /home/*/public_html on Fedora Core 3

[Medina, Agenol]

Hello,

I'm Agenol Medina.

I recently installed  FC3  and I cant get my /home/*/public_html directories  availble to thier owners.

I can do it with FC2 but since selinux is now in the picture, I dont know how to "activate" my /home/*/public_html directories.

I looked for some help in my local bookstores but I found nothing  that I didnt know (based on how to do the same for FC2). Can you indicate where to look or what instructions to execute.

Thank you for your help.

restorecon -R /home/*/public_html

That works, although I tend to tell people to run chcon directly, as in:

chcon -R -h -t httpd_user_content_t /home/*/public_html

Since restorecon will only work for public_html.
