The error:

[root@hostname ~]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 280 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
DocumentRoot must be a directory
                                                           [FAILED]
[root@hostname ~]#

I simply cannot restart httpd even the syntax is correct and the directory exist with the correct permissions. Disabling SELinux is the only temporary solution so far which is highly NOT recommended. :( (

[root@hostname ~]# system-config-securitylevel

selinux via system-config-securitylevel

[root@hostname ~]# service httpd start
Starting httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
