Description Samium Gromoff 2013-08-05 08:53:53 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm trying to run ejabberd, and I have SELinux shooting it down during startup.

I have no idea why SELinux would prevent ejabberd from writing to a log file.
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/erlang/erts-5.10.1/bin/beam.smp from 'write' accesses on the file erlang.log.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that beam.smp should be allowed write access on the erlang.log file 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 beam.smp /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
