Hi, Rob:
I forgot to mention that I have been using yum install.
I have reinstalled the entire thing, put back all the packages, and then I went to /var and did a chmod -R 777 var, and then did a
[root@localhost var]# chown -R apache:apache .
Interestingly, I do not see anything different, and I still get this error that says my permission is denied. Here is my
[root@localhost var]# ps awxu | grep -E 'apache|httpd'

Obviously, my last one has already changed the owner to apache already.Nevertheless, I am still denied even when I am now logged in as root. Is this anything with firewalls?
Hang on a minute: you're original message said the error was:
Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Permission denied in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/file_linux.php on line 27
But you say you've re-installed, and done "chmod -R 777 var" and "chown -R
apache:apache ." in /var
A few things there:
When you are changing permissions and ownerships on such a large scale, you
should always use absolute paths to be sure you are doing the right thing - like
"chmod -R 777 /var" and "chown -R apache:apache /var"
Next, changing permission and ownership recursively on something like /var is
likely to wreck your system in weird and wonderful ways, and is pretty difficult
to undo - you might be looking at a total OS reinstall here (once you've solved
your Apache problems)
Finally, the error message refers to a file in /usr/local/apache/htdocs, but you
then are changing permissions in /var - where is your web root?! It looks like
your PHP code has the /usr/local/apache/htdocs path hard-coded, when your web
files are actually in /var/something...
