Summary SELinux is preventing httpd (httpd_t) "getattr" to /home/rohan/public_html/index.html (user_home_t). Detailed Description SELinux denied access requested by httpd. /home/rohan/public_html/index.html may be a mislabeled. /home/rohan/public_html/index.html default SELinux type is httpd_user_content_t, while its current type is user_home_t. Changing this file back to the default type, may fix your problem. File contexts can get assigned to a file can following ways. This file could have been mislabeled either by user error, or if an normally confined application was run under the wrong domain. Of course this could also indicate a bug in SELinux, in that the file should not be labeled with this type. If you believe this is a bug, please file a http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
