I have a new install of Drupal 7 on Apache 2.2.17 (Fedora).
I have reconfigured the file permissions for the Drupal files according the file permissions section in the Installation Guide.
I would like to enable several modules, including some extras I have downloaded.
While I am logged into the site as an administrator, I am not able to enable any modules or change any permissions.
I get the following error when trying to enable modules:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /admin/modules/list/confirm on this server.
Apache/2.2.17 (Fedora) Server at mysite.mydomain.com Port 80

When I try to change user permissions, I get an error that flashes overtop of my page content then disappears.
I have modified the settings.php file to be read/writable by myuser:apache but to no avail.

Check your apache error log messages. They'll probably help diagnose your problem.

Upon review of the error log, I noticed that modsecurity errors were occuring with an alarming frequency. I uninstalled the module and restart httpd. All of my problems have been resolved. Thank you for your help!
