Description Allen 2013-08-10 23:21:37 UTC
Description of problem:
After an update via yum.
SELinux is preventing zmc from 'write' accesses on the file /var/log/zoneminder/zmc_m1.log.

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

If you believe that zmc should be allowed write access on the zmc_m1.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 zmc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Why is apache reading the zoneminder log file?

> Why is apache reading the zoneminder log file?

AFAIK-At first does not make sense but apache will need read access to display the log errors in the browser gui LOG tab. But the above failure is not read access.

This failure indicates that zmc cannot open or write to the zmc log file which
would be expected if the capture demon failed for any reason. 


From Zoneminder Wiki
zmc 
    This is the ZoneMinder Capture daemon. This binary's job is to sit on a video device and suck frames off it as fast as possible, this should run at more or less constant speed.
