Yes /projects is a seperate LVM mountpoint! I tried issuing the chcon -t usr_t /projects and got the following error:chcon -t usr_t is doing a getfilecon on /projects and attempting to use the user and role and only changing the type,
chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file /projects
but since the system has no context it is failing
try
chcon system_u:object_r:usr_t /projects
Why would that be? Thanks for the help! -Jerry.

I have been trying to get a SVN repository set up for access via the
DAV module. I have read that you need to do various things to get this
to work on a Fedora Core 3 system. My repository lives in
/projects/svn-repos/ which is a local filesystem. I have changed group
and owner to apache for all files in that directory with chown -R
apache.apache /projects/svn-repos. This obviously didn't work due to
SELinux security contexts. I found online that I needed to do chcon -R
-h -t httpd_sys_content_t /projects/svn-repos.
Right.
I still get the following errors in my /var/log/mesages:
Apr 12 21:50:39 fry kernel: audit(1113360639.475:0): avc: denied {
search } for pid=7147 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=/ dev=dm-2 ino=2
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t
tclass=dir
Is /projects a mount for separate LVM device? It must be labeled. If ls -Z /projects shows file_t, then that is the problem.
Try this:
chcon -t usr_t /projects
I picked usr_t because it's going to be accessible to httpd_t. Longer term once we have a better infrastructure for local policy modifications, you'd really want to create a new type such as project_t which you could apply to the directory and give only httpd_t and other domains the access you want.
Most of the information online indicated people were just turning off
SELinux to avoid this problem. I was wondering if anybody could point
me in the direction of resolving this without disabling SELinux.
It's much better to disable SELinux enforcement just for Apache HTTPD, not SELinux as a whole. http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/index.html#using-s-c-securitylevel
