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...

"avc denied" on mounted ISO image for HTTP install: msg#00112

Subject: "avc denied" on mounted ISO image for HTTP install
Hello everyone,

I'm trying to do a network installation via HTTP install. To save
space on my HTTP server, I mounted my ISO images into a
publicly-accessible directory under my DocumentRoot.

mount -o loop /backup/iso/centos-4.1/CentOS-4.1-i386-bin1of4.iso
/var/www/html/centos-4.1/disc1
mount -o loop /backup/iso/centos-4.1/CentOS-4.1-i386-bin2of4.iso
/var/www/html/centos-4.1/disc2
mount -o loop /backup/iso/centos-4.1/CentOS-4.1-i386-bin3of4.iso
/var/www/html/centos-4.1/disc3
mount -o loop /backup/iso/centos-4.1/CentOS-4.1-i386-bin4of4.iso
/var/www/html/centos-4.1/disc4

Trying to test the installation on a client machine, I gett a "403
Forbidden" error whenever I browse http://server/centos-4.1/disc1

So I check my /var/log/messages and I found these SELinux error logs:

Sep 25 07:47:46 localhost kernel: audit(1127605666.816:0): avc: 
denied  { getattr } for  pid=2638 comm=httpd
path=/var/www/html/centos-4.1/disc1 dev=loop0 ino=1856
scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:iso9660_t
tclass=dir

Any ideas on how to solve this? I am admittedly a SELinux newbie.

Best regards,
Matt
