I have also got stuck into this and believe me disabling SELinux is not a good idea   Please just use below and you are good   sudo restorecon -R  var www mysite   Enjoy

If it gets into the selinux arena you ve got a much more complicated issue  It s not a good idea to remove the selinux protection but to embrace it and use the tools that were designed to manage it   If you are serving content out of  var www abc  you can verify the selinux permissions with a Z appended to the normal ls -l command  i e  ls -laZ will give the selinux context    To add a directory to be served by selinux you can use the semanage command like this  This will change the label on  var www abc to httpd sys content t  semanage fcontext -a -t httpd sys content t  var www abc   this will update the label for  var www abc  restorecon  var www abc    This answer was taken from unixmen and modified to fit this question  I had been searching for this answer for a while and finally found it so felt like I needed to share somewhere  Hope it helps someone
