Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

It would be nice to go through more possible configurations and try
them; so far we've only done a few.

I'll try to go through more of the modules in /etc/httpd/conf.d/*.conf.

So for instance, how do I get Subversion/mod_dav_svn working with an
SELinux-enabled httpd? Can we make it such that an SVN repos is as easy
to set up as:

# cd /src/svn
# svnadmin create mystuff
# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf
- uncomment the defaults?
Well, given that the path /src/ doesn't exist by default right now, we
can't ensure it's labeled correctly out of the box.  Maybe we could have
default configuration use /var/www/.

That would work too.

A more generic example would be if we provide a /srv/www directory or
something to which the httpd domain is allowed read+write access by
default; somewhere to put the PHP webapps.
/srv/www should probably be just be labeled the same as /var/www by
default.  Since the default label is httpd_sys_content_t, which in the
default boolean set httpd_t is allowed to write to, PHP apps storing
e.g. a SQLite database there should work.

httpd_t *cannot* write to anything labelled with httpd_sys_content_t by
default, surely - that's the whole problem?

When I set up /var/www/svn as above, I get AVC messages like:

audit(1100636258.341:0): avc: denied { write } for pid=21318 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=__db.001 dev=hda2 ino=3169309 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t tclass=file
