Apache fails to run php unless browser ran by root
I have a Fedora live install with the following options installed: apache and wordpress
When I finished setting up the mysql database, configuring wordpress and finally browsing to the localhost in firefox nothing would show up as a general user. I logged in as root on the server and launched firefox and it works perfectly. Here are the log files from apache:
error_log
[Thu Feb 07 20:35:50 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0
[Thu Feb 07 20:35:50 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] PHP Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/var/www/html/wordpress/i
Is there something the fedora install does that needs to be changed to allow users to run php? I put a hi.txt file in the same directory and I can specify it from a browser and get it running as a regular user and remotely from another machine.

so change the permissions on the files in /www/ or run apache/php as root, not recommended.
