SELINUX	is enabled by default. However you can diable it or set it to 'warn'
which will not stop anything but will inform you what it would be doing if
enabled.

This may not be the fix, but I ran into a similar problem using Fedora
core 3,which was a "permission denied" error in writing back to the file
system (actually it was with a wiki, but the idea is the same).

The answer - SELinux security config.  RedHat bundles in a very
"helpful" security feature that sandboxes different user processes (like
httpd).  And does nice, helpful things like not allowing the process to
write to the filesystem even though the permissions are absolutely and
utterly and truly correct [See admin bang head against wall].

I figured this out when I browsed the Fedora site for ideas on why my
httpd was not able to write to the filesystem...

Hope that helps.
