Description Dawid Zamirski 2013-04-05 00:42:32 UTC
Description of problem:
Loaded the owncloud server page for initial setup. The owncloud server installation is from Fedora package.
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from 'write' accesses on the file /var/lib/owncloud/data/.htaccess.

*****  Plugin catchall_labels (83.8 confidence) suggests  ********************

If you want to allow httpd to have write access on the .htaccess file
Then you need to change the label on /var/lib/owncloud/data/.htaccess
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/var/lib/owncloud/data/.htaccess'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: abrt_retrace_spool_t, afs_cache_t, dirsrv_config_t, dirsrv_var_log_t, dirsrv_var_run_t, dirsrvadmin_config_t, dirsrvadmin_tmp_t, httpd_apcupsd_cgi_rw_content_t, httpd_awstats_rw_content_t, httpd_bugzilla_rw_content_t, httpd_cache_t, httpd_collectd_rw_content_t, httpd_cvs_rw_content_t, httpd_dirsrvadmin_rw_content_t, httpd_dspam_rw_content_t, httpd_git_rw_content_t, httpd_lock_t, httpd_man2html_rw_content_t, httpd_mediawiki_rw_content_t, httpd_mojomojo_rw_content_t, httpd_munin_rw_content_t, httpd_mythtv_rw_content_t, httpd_nagios_rw_content_t, httpd_nutups_cgi_rw_content_t, httpd_openshift_rw_content_t, httpd_prewikka_rw_content_t, httpd_smokeping_cgi_rw_content_t, httpd_squid_rw_content_t, httpd_squirrelmail_t, httpd_sys_rw_content_t, httpd_tmp_t, httpd_tmpfs_t, httpd_user_rw_content_t, httpd_var_lib_t, httpd_var_run_t, httpd_w3c_validator_rw_content_t, httpd_webalizer_rw_content_t, httpd_zoneminder_rw_content_t, initrc_tmp_t, jetty_cache_t, jetty_log_t, jetty_var_lib_t, jetty_var_run_t, krb5_host_rcache_t, passenger_tmp_t, passenger_var_run_t, pki_ra_etc_rw_t, pki_ra_log_t, pki_ra_var_lib_t, pki_tps_etc_rw_t, pki_tps_log_t, pki_tps_var_lib_t, puppet_tmp_t, squirrelmail_spool_t, systemd_passwd_var_run_t, user_cron_spool_t, zarafa_var_lib_t. 
Then execute: 
restorecon -v '/var/lib/owncloud/data/.htaccess'


*****  Plugin catchall (17.1 confidence) suggests  ***************************

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