Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from using potentially mislabeled files /usr/local/zend/var/log/gui_vhost_error.log. Detailed Description: SELinux has denied the httpd access to potentially mislabeled files /usr/local/zend/var/log/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 /usr/local/zend/var/log/gui_vhost_error.log so that the httpd daemon can access it, you need to execute it using semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/usr/local/zend/var/log/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.

# chcon -R -t var_log_t /usr/local/zend/var/log Will fix. But I guess you will need to label the "/usr/local/zend" directory as apache content. Look at #593866 bug.
