Bug 545285

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from using potentially mislabeled files
mod_gnutls.dir.

Detailed Description:

SELinux has denied the httpd access to potentially mislabeled files
mod_gnutls.dir. This means that SELinux will not allow httpd to use these files.
If httpd should be allowed this access to these files you should change the file
context to one of the following types, httpd_lock_t, httpd_rw_content,
httpd_cache_t, httpd_tmpfs_t, httpd_tmp_t, httpd_squirrelmail_t,
httpd_var_lib_t, httpd_var_run_t, httpd_t, afs_cache_t, squirrelmail_spool_t,
httpd_w3c_validator_content_rw_t, httpd_user_content_rw_t, httpdcontent,
httpd_munin_content_rw_t, root_t, httpd_bugzilla_content_rw_t,
httpd_nagios_content_rw_t, httpd_sys_content_rw_t, httpd_sys_content_rw_t,
httpd_cvs_content_rw_t, httpd_git_content_rw_t, httpd_nutups_cgi_content_rw_t,
httpd_squid_content_rw_t, httpd_apcupsd_cgi_content_rw_t,
httpd_prewikka_content_rw_t, httpd_awstats_content_rw_t. Many third party apps
install html files in directories that SELinux policy cannot predict. These
directories have to be labeled with a file context which httpd can access.

Allowing Access:

If you want to change the file context of mod_gnutls.dir so that the httpd
daemon can access it, you need to execute it using semanage fcontext -a -t
FILE_TYPE 'mod_gnutls.dir'.
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: httpd_lock_t, httpd_rw_content,
httpd_cache_t, httpd_tmpfs_t, httpd_tmp_t, httpd_squirrelmail_t,
httpd_var_lib_t, httpd_var_run_t, httpd_t, afs_cache_t, squirrelmail_spool_t,
httpd_w3c_validator_content_rw_t, httpd_user_content_rw_t, httpdcontent,
httpd_munin_content_rw_t, root_t, httpd_bugzilla_content_rw_t,
httpd_nagios_content_rw_t, httpd_sys_content_rw_t, httpd_sys_content_rw_t,
httpd_cvs_content_rw_t, httpd_git_content_rw_t, httpd_nutups_cgi_content_rw_t,
httpd_squid_content_rw_t, httpd_apcupsd_cgi_content_rw_t,
httpd_prewikka_content_rw_t, httpd_awstats_content_rw_t. You can look at the
httpd_selinux man page for additional information.
