>Summary
>    SELinux is preventing the /usr/sbin/httpd from using potentially mislabeled
>    files validate (chkpwd_exec_t).
>
>Detailed Description
>    SELinux has denied the /usr/sbin/httpd access to potentially mislabeled
>    files validate.  This means that SELinux will not allow http to use these
>    files.  Many third party apps install html files in directories that SELinux
>    policy can not predict.  These directories have to be labeled with a file
>    context which httpd can accesss.
>
>Allowing Access
>    If you want to change the file context of validate so that the httpd daemon
>    can access it, you need to execute it using chcon -t
>    httpd_sys_content_t.validate.  You can look at the httpd_selinux man page
>    for additional information.
