Found the answer if anyone else gets this error: on command line type: getenforce If result back = Enforcing then: edit /etc/selinux/config Change: SELINUX="value" to SELINUX=disabled The restart server, but if you do not want to restart then run command: setenforce 0 ---

Disabling SELinux is **NOT** the solution. It is like to prevent anti-virus pop ups, disable anti-virus! `setsebool -P httpd_unified 0` try toggling with 1 - More info [here](https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2009-March/msg00070.html) This is a[great complied list](http://danwalsh.livejournal.com/56760.html) of Apache booleans. ---

I renabled SELinux and got the error before. I then tried setsebool -P httpd\_unified 0 to make sure it was already set as 0 and still got the same error. I then tried setsebool -P httpd\_unified 1 and the error went away my CakePHP still works. I even rebooted to make sure the setsebool stuck and did not have to be set again. Thanks ---

Thanks … this command is enough for all the permission issue : setenforce 0 ---
