Ok, I thought the file local.pp was to exist somewhere which I did not
find anywhere.  That was my confusion.

OK I issued:  semodule -i local.pp
and it completed.

I went to a windows system and I am now able to view /var/www contents.
I am also able to create and delete files and directories.  All is now
working well!.

If there is anything else, please let me know.

Kind regards,
Dan
