This is due to the high grade security known as SELinux included in
Fedora. And since you are setting up this machine as a server, I would
suggest that you do not disable SELinux, and instead learn how to use
it properly. You might want to start your reading here:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq/

Butif you really don't want to bother, you can use
system-config-securitylevel to disable SELinux
