Sorry, fat fingers I sent before I finished the last bits of command configuration settings that I did  below.

Permission settings for Apache:

# chmod -R 755 sites
# cd/ home
# chmod 711 user_name

SELinux setting changes:

# /usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_enable_homedirs 1
# chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t sites

and also:

# /usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_enable_cgi 1

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks
