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...

viewcvs problem with SELinux: msg#00080

Subject: viewcvs problem with SELinux
hey friends,

 I have configure cvs and viewcvs on FC3  but I am not able to access
viewcvs when SELinux is on.

The /var/log/messages contains these entries

avc:  denied  { execute } for  pid=5233 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd
name=viewcvs.cgi dev=hda5 ino=198687 scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=file

When I switch off SELinux I am able to access the viewcvs through the browser.

ls -lZ /usr/local/viewcvs

drwxr-xr-x  root   root     system_u:object_r:usr_t          cgi
-rwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:usr_t          cvsdbadmin
-rw-r--r--  root     root     system_u:object_r:usr_t          cvsgraph.conf
drwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:usr_t          doc
drwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:lib_t          lib
-rwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:usr_t          loginfo-handler
-rwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:usr_t          make-database
-rwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:usr_t          standalone.py
drwxr-xr-x  root     root     system_u:object_r:usr_t          templates
-rw-r--r--  root     root     system_u:object_r:usr_t          viewcvs.conf


I also did this make -C /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy reload

restorecon -R /usr/local/viewcvs

But still the problem is persisting.

Thanks & Regards

Ankush Grover
