Sounds like when I wanted to serve from /var/local with Apache on WBEL. 
It turned out to be selinux getting in the way. I forget which, but 
there's a program to run ...

Also, "moving"* a file doesn't change its selinux ACLs (or ownership and 
permissions). "Copying" gives the new file the appropriate new ACLs.



* Probably unless the destination's on a different filesystem.
