SELinux & apache/httpd access to /home/*/www

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

My problem is this:
I host some small PHP & MySQL websites for friends and family, they have their VirtualHost DocumentRoot's in "/home/[name]/www" (and is working fine with SELinux disabled).


I am running SELinux with SELINUX=enforcing, SELINUXTYPE=targeted.

SELinux seems to be blocking httpd from accessing /home/name/www, atleast when trying to start apache it complains:
Starting httpd: Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/xxxxxx/www] does not exist
Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/yyyyy/www] does not exist
[FAILED]


(The non virtualhost root in /var/www/html works fine, but if moved to /home/xxxxxx/www it fails)

/etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts contains:
# apache
/home/[^/]+/((www)|(web)|(public_html))(/.+)? system_u:object_r:httpd_user_content_t


Which to me would seem to match the /home/[name]/www
(I have tried upgrading to selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.12-1, but it didnt fix the problem)


(I have the individual logfiles in /home/[name]/log, which probably presents another problem.)

I dont quite understand the quirks of SELinux, so I'd certainly appriciate some direction.

Regards
Kris

PS. If what I'm asking is simple, please bare with me, i installed Fedora Core 3 test1 only 2 days ago, and its my first experience with SELinux (I spent most of yesterday google'ing for answers to my problem, and reading up on SELinux permissions. Without learning much.)

PPS. Does anyone have context files for Qmail / QmailAdmin / SQWebmail / Vpopmail / courier-imap Qmail-Scanner / SpamAssassin / ClamAV / maildrop / daemontools / ucspi-tcp-0.88 (tcpserver) / ezmlm ? :) (I wouldn't building them if i could only figure out how)
