Apache Permission denied to connect to socket

I am using sys/socket.h. When I try to make a socket connection in Apache server environment. It fails to make a socket connection with Permission Defined Errno 13. Is there some permission that I need to give to apache.

Thanks!!

Temporally disable SELinux and see what happens:

Edit /etc/selinux/config as root and change the SELINUX line to SELINUX=disabled. If this fixes your problems, you should reenable SELinux and get in contact with the policy writers (i.e. file a bug report at your distributions bugtracker).

Thanks for the edit Jonas ;)

A couple of months ago I had a similar problem with a Fedora server, just had to run setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1 to fix

In case you are trying to bind() a socket to a port below 1024 you need superuser rights.

When trying to connect(), EACCES (13) might be returned if a local firewall prohibits the connection.
