Hello Giuseppe,
I also use Koha with FC3. Your error´s reason is selinux.
Go to command prompt an type: /usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel as root. There is "SELinux" and mark the entry "HTTPD-Service | Disable SELinux protection for httpd daemon"
You can also do the same with the entry "SELinux Service Protection | Disable SELinux protectionfor mysqld daemon"
I hope it´s the right way for you.

Dear Sebastian, it worked! Many, many thanks! I didn't use to have anything like that in RedHat 9.0, and was completely stymied. (Incidentally, I do have the httpd entry in SELinux, but not the mysqld one.) I made a lot of other trials (which I am not going to report in full here), but observed a strange behavior. I could not execute _any_ script located in _any_ subdir of the path /usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin, even when correctly defined in httpd.conf, whereas I _could_ execute such scripts, if copied to /var/www/cgi-bin (or subdirs), i.e. httpd's default location for cgi's. Therefore, I was beginning to fancy that a possible workaround to my problem was to perform a new installation of koha under /var/www/koha, but I didn't try - THANKS to your most precious suggestion! Many thanks again, Giuseppe.
