Description Ezra Sharp 2011-04-19 11:49:02 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from 'search' accesses on the directory /home/ezra.

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (47.5 confidence) suggests  *******************

If you want to allow httpd to read user content
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'httpd_read_user_content' boolean.
Do
setsebool -P httpd_read_user_content 1

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (47.5 confidence) suggests  *******************

If you want to allow httpd to read home directories
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'httpd_enable_homedirs' boolean.
Do
setsebool -P httpd_enable_homedirs 1

*****  Plugin catchall (6.38 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that httpd should be allowed search access on the ezra 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 httpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Setting up virtual hosts for apache, I set a virtual host documentRoot inside the home directory. resulting in 403 errors.

Did you read the plugin?  It told you what to do.
