If after that things work, please, find out what context you need to fix and enable it again with setenforce "Enforcing"

Thank you so much for your reply. I didn't know I enabled the SELinux. Now I set to permissive as you have told me. But still getting this 403 error message on Apache. Any idea.

wget 10.xx.x.xx

Code:

--2015-11-19 11:26:23--  http://10.xx.x.xx/
Connecting to 10.xx.x.xx:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden
2015-11-19 11:26:23 ERROR 403: Forbidden.

On the access log, I see this

Code:

 [19/Nov/2015:14:46:59 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 403 5039 "-" "Wget/1.12 (linux-gnu)"

error_log
[Thu Nov 19 14:55:10 2015] [error] [client 10.xx.x.xx] Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/

I changed the whole /var/www/html to 777. Still getting this error message.

createhomedir

createhomedir(1)					    BSD General Commands Manual 					  createhomedir(1)

NAME

     createhomedir -- create and populate home directories on the local computer.

SYNOPSIS

     createhomedir [-scbalh] [-n directoryDomainName] [-u username]

DESCRIPTION

     createhomedir provides several options for creating and populating home directories.

OPTIONS

     -s       creates home directories for server home paths only (default).

     -c       creates home directories for local home paths only.

     -b       creates home directories for both server and local home paths.

     -a       creates home directories for users defined in all directory domains of the server's search path.

     -l       creates home directories for users defined in the local directory domain.

     -L       causes the created home directory to be localized.

     -n directoryDomainName
	      creates home directories for users defined in a specific directory domain in the server's search path.

     -u username
	      creates a home directory for a specific user defined in the domain(s) identified in the -a, -l, or -n parameter. If you omit the -a,
	      -l, and -n parameters when you use the -u parameter, -a is assumed.

     -i       reads username list from standard input and creates specified home directories. Each username should be on its own line.

     -h       usage help.

FILES

     /usr/sbin/createhomedir			   location of tool

CAVEATS

     When using the -a option, search limits of various directory servers (such as Open Directory or Active Directory) can prevent all possible
     home directories from being created. In this case, you may need to specify the usernames explicitly.
