Description of problem: By default, mod_wsgi wants to create a socket in /var/log/httpd, that's blocked by the default SELinux policy: type=AVC msg=audit(1369272671.350:181): avc: denied { create } for pid=18620 comm="httpd" name="wsgi.18620.0.1.sock" scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_log_t:s0 tclass=sock_file I think /var/run would be a more sensible place to create this socket. I've corrected this issue by adding the following line to /etc/httpd/conf.d/wsgi.conf: WSGISocketPrefix /var/run/wsgi Would it be possible to make this the default, please?
