SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from 'create' accesses on the directory files.

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

If you believe that httpd should be allowed create access on the files directory 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 httpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

What directory is apache creating content in?  You need to label the directory structure httpd_user_content_t.  Like ~/public_html.

If it is in public_html, then you need to run restorecon on the directory.
