[mythtv-users] mythweb issue: data directory is not writable by apache. Please check permissions.data directory is not writable by apache. Please check permissions.

[Gabe Rubin]

Hi list,

I have been fairly succesful migrating my combined BE/FE to a new hardrive
with a new operating system.

I am running fedora 17 on the new system (old one was fedora 16 and had to
reinstall due to having too small of a boot partition).  One issue I am
having is with mythweb.  I can't seem to view anything.  When I do, I get
this error:

Error

data directory is not writable by apache. Please check permissions.

However, it appears that everything is owned by apache (although I seem to
remember on my older system, the user was www-data or wwwdata and most of
mythweb was in /var/www/html).

Here is what I believe to the relevant output.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated:
