Selinux with Apache running PHP

[Jayendren Anand Maduray]

Good day all.

I am having trouble running PHP files in my webserver: Apache.

Here is some information:

[root at shiva warez]# rpm -qi php

i386 GNU/Linux

SElinux is running in enforcing mode, and I have disabled protection for 
apache.

I am trying to setup PHP Nuke on my webserver, but it has trouble 
running PHP files.

Also tried the following from the fedora-forum:

changed permissions of the php files: chmod 755 *.php
turning off SELinux protection, which works of course.

But I like SELinux!!!

Please advise.
