Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from using potentially mislabeled files gui_vhost_error.log. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.] SELinux has denied the httpd access to potentially mislabeled files gui_vhost_error.log. 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_var_lib_t, httpd_var_run_t, user_home_t, httpd_t, squirrelmail_spool_t, httpd_lock_t, httpd_log_t, httpd_rw_content, httpd_cache_t, httpd_tmpfs_t, user_cron_spool_t, httpd_tmp_t, logfile, httpd_squirrelmail_t, rpm_tmp_t, user_tmp_t, httpd_squid_content_ra_t, httpd_squid_content_rw_t, httpd_apcupsd_cgi_content_ra_t, httpd_apcupsd_cgi_content_rw_t, httpd_prewikka_content_ra_t, httpd_prewikka_content_rw_t, httpd_awstats_content_ra_t, httpd_awstats_content_rw_t, httpd_w3c_validator_content_ra_t, httpd_w3c_validator_content_rw_t, httpd_user_content_ra_t, httpd_user_content_rw_t, httpd_cobbler_content_ra_t, httpd_cobbler_content_rw_t, httpdcontent, httpd_munin_content_ra_t, httpd_munin_content_rw_t, root_t, httpd_bugzilla_content_ra_t, httpd_bugzilla_content_rw_t, httpd_nagios_content_ra_t, httpd_nagios_content_rw_t, httpd_sys_content_ra_t, httpd_sys_content_rw_t, httpd_sys_content_rw_t, httpd_cvs_content_ra_t, httpd_cvs_content_rw_t, httpd_git_content_ra_t, httpd_git_content_rw_t, httpd_nutups_cgi_content_ra_t, httpd_nutups_cgi_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 gui_vhost_error.log so that the httpd daemon can access it, you need to execute it using semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE 'gui_vhost_error.log'. where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: httpd_var_lib_t, httpd_var_run_t, user_home_t, httpd_t, squirrelmail_spool_t, httpd_lock_t, httpd_log_t, httpd_rw_content, httpd_cache_t, httpd_tmpfs_t, user_cron_spool_t, httpd_tmp_t, logfile, httpd_squirrelmail_t, rpm_tmp_t, user_tmp_t, httpd_squid_content_ra_t, httpd_squid_content_rw_t, httpd_apcupsd_cgi_content_ra_t, httpd_apcupsd_cgi_content_rw_t, httpd_prewikka_content_ra_t, httpd_prewikka_content_rw_t, httpd_awstats_content_ra_t, httpd_awstats_content_rw_t, httpd_w3c_validator_content_ra_t, httpd_w3c_validator_content_rw_t, httpd_user_content_ra_t, httpd_user_content_rw_t, httpd_cobbler_content_ra_t, httpd_cobbler_content_rw_t, httpdcontent, httpd_munin_content_ra_t, httpd_munin_content_rw_t, root_t, httpd_bugzilla_content_ra_t, httpd_bugzilla_content_rw_t, httpd_nagios_content_ra_t, httpd_nagios_content_rw_t, httpd_sys_content_ra_t, httpd_sys_content_rw_t, httpd_sys_content_rw_t, httpd_cvs_content_ra_t, httpd_cvs_content_rw_t, httpd_git_content_ra_t, httpd_git_content_rw_t, httpd_nutups_cgi_content_ra_t, httpd_nutups_cgi_content_rw_t. You can look at the httpd_selinux man page for additional information.

Looks like you have a disk without SELinux labels. Please run restorecon on the disk containing gui_vhost_error.log restorecon -R -v DISKPATH
Error fixed. Thanks.
