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...

Yeah, it's the same file as the one in the policy sources
(targeted/src/policy), which comes from the
selinux-policy-targeted-sources directory.  You shouldn't need that
unless you have to customize the policy, which doesn't sound necessary
yet.

/var/www(/.*)?                  system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t

It looks as if the httpd policy needs the logs to be a different type:
Mine says the same...
But there is a
/etc/httpd/logs                        system_u:object_r:httpd_log_t
And this:

/var/log/httpd(/.*)?            system_u:object_r:httpd_log_t

I suppose either would work, since httpd_t can append to httpd_log_t and
httpd_runtime_t.  httpd_log_t looks like the proper one to use.

But what puzzles me is why only this one log directory....all the others
like it work...
This is with httpd_unified set to true?

Yes actually mine says "active"

AIUI, it must be set to true,
if httpd_t can append to httpd_sys_content_t.

For 'ls -Z /var/www' are all the directories essentially the same
permissions?  I'm not thinking the problem is regular UNIX permissions
because you got an AVC denial ... something is fishy.

ls -Z /var/www

Does it error if you change the type of the log files to httpd_log_t?
I.e.,

 chcon -R -t httpd_log_t /var/www/spokanewines.com/logs/*

Issued the above command and then service httpd start

Nov 30 13:31:29 webmail kernel: audit(1101850289.759:0): avc:  denied  {
append } for  pid=2585 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=error_log dev=dm-0

tcontext=system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t tclass=file
Nov 30 13:31:29 webmail httpd: httpd startup failed

-rw-r--r--  root     root     system_u:object_r:httpd_log_t    error_log

Are you sure this error_log is the one represented by  ino=552157???

Can you send in the avc:  denied errors that you are getting?  I can't
imagine how this would be a policy bug, but it's worth looking into.
