Permission denied FC5 Apache 2.2 htdigest

[tcasada]

I have the owner on my htdigest file set to apache group root and have even chmod 777 on it. Still when trying to create a new user I get:

[Errno 13] Permission denied

Here is the Python traceback:

Fedora Core comes with SELinux enabled by default. You need to explicitly allow file access to Apache.

 $ chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t /path/to/htdigest
