apache user directory access permission denied

Question

I've run chmod 777 on /home/cache/, however the apache user is still unable to write to it. My php script is writing to this directory but got a permission denied error and don't know why.

ls -ld cache shows:

drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 69632 Aug 24 17:04 cache/

ls -ld /home shows:

drwxr-xr-x. 19 root root 4096 Aug 24 18:30 /home

Answer 1

Change the owner permission of the /home/cache/ to "apache user" by running the command:

chown apache /home/cache/

After that ensure selinux is turned off in your system. You can run setenforce 0 to turn selinux off.
