I link /var/www/html/per to /home/bothner/public_html.
The SELinux Alert browser gives me a number of options, the first of which
was to do:
/sbin/restorecon -v /home
After doing that, and refreshing the web browser then the alert browser
suggests
/sbin/restorecon -v /home/bothner
Then it suggests:
/sbin/restorecon -v /home/bothner/public_html
Now it wants:
/sbin/restorecon -v /home/bothner/public_html/index.html
Clearly this is not the right path - I can't individually relabel every
single file.
The next alternative it suggests
If you think this is caused by a badly mislabeled machine.
Then you need to fully relabel.
Do
touch /.autorelabel; reboot
I haven't tried that yet since I'm expecting that to take a long time.
It is possible that is the issue - the files were copied over (using tar)
from a different laptop, which may not have carried SELinux lae\bel over.
(I'm unclear on this.)
The suggestion I found particularly unhelpful is:
If you want to allow httpd to have getattr access on the index.html file
Then you need to change the label on /home/bothner/public_html/index.html
Do
# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE
'/home/bothner/public_html/index.html'
where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: [[long list]].
Then execute:
restorecon -v '/home/bothner/public_html/index.html'
First, I can't figure out what in the [[long list]] is appropriate.
Second, the "then" part suggests this might only fix one file at a time.
I'm guessing the "full relabel" is the right thing.
