Using custom folder as DocumentRoot in httpd CentOS
If you use different directory as DocumentRoot (for example /website), httpd will complaint and show you this error message:
DocumentRoot must be a directory
This is due to the Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) which is a mandatory access control security mechanism implemented in kernel. For more info you can visit SELinux@wikipedia
To overcome this problem, we need to set the proper access control to our website folder so that it can be recognized by apache httpd
sudo chcon -Rv --type=httpd_sys_content_t /website
