Solution

  • The type context of /home/imagenesDBD is home_root_t.

    SELINUX will only allow type context httpd_sys_content_t.

    You should change the type of security context and it can be done by running 

    $ sudo chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t /home/imagenesDBD

    Here you can found chcon manual chcon
