Description Sayak Sarkar 2013-12-27 07:19:18 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from 'write' accesses on the directory /var/www/html/simple-php-photo-gallery/uploads.

*****  Plugin httpd_write_content (92.2 confidence) suggests   ***************

If you want to allow httpd to have write access on the uploads directory
Then you need to change the label on '/var/www/html/simple-php-photo-gallery/uploads'
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t '/var/www/html/simple-php-photo-gallery/uploads'
# restorecon -v '/var/www/html/simple-php-photo-gallery/uploads'

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (7.83 confidence) suggests   ******************

If you want to unify HTTPD handling of all content files.
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'httpd_unified' boolean.
You can read 'httpd_selinux' man page for more details.
Do
setsebool -P httpd_unified 1

*****  Plugin catchall (1.41 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that httpd should be allowed write access on the uploads directory by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep /usr/sbin/httpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
