Re: SELinux blocks apachectl from stopping apache

["Kurian @ GnuHack" <kurian@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Been away from selinux for a very long time. But will changing the context of apachectl to httpd_exec_t help ?

Hi list,

 

I use a self compiled apache-2.2.27 on a CentOS6.5 box

 

I run into trouble with the apachectl command.

If I try stop apache with ‘apachectl stop’ it complains:

 

(13)Permission denied: Error retrieving pid file run/httpd.pid

Remove it before continuing if it is corrupted.

 

Audit logs shows the problem:

 

type=AVC msg=audit(1404897126.819:7069): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=23031 comm="httpd" name="httpd.pid" dev=dm-0 ino=529958 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=file

BTW Stopping apache with ‘httpd –k stop’ works fine.

 

[root@centos1 conf]# ls -lZ /usr/sbin/apachectl

-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:initrc_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/apachectl

[root@centos1 conf]#

 

[root@centos1 conf]# ls -lZ /usr/sbin/httpd

-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:httpd_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/httpd

[root@centos1 conf]#

 

[root@centos1 audit]# ps -efZ | grep -i apachectl

unconfined_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 root   23066  2412  0 11:20 pts/0    00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/apachectl

 

[root@centos1 audit]# ls -lZ httpd.pid

-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 httpd.pid

 

How can I fix it?
