Clarification: While the system-config-securitylevel application
identifies the change as "Enable" for the policy, it is switching
between enforcing and permissive.
Also, in permissive mode, the following messages are shown in
/var/log/messages:

The problem you're running into is that you're trying to store web content in a home directory. Notice the type of the file is user_home_t, which httpd_t is not allowed to read. For more information, see: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/ Your options are: 1) Label the files as httpd_sys_content_t, which should work 2) Disable SELinux enforcement for Apache if you can't get it to work (see the guide for how to do that) Ah, that's what I was missing. Setting "Allow HTTPD to read home directories" in system-config-securitylevel didn't change the file/directory contexts. I had assumed it would. Closing. |
