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...

Hi,
A few weeks ago, I brought up a problem I was having with SELinux and
AWStats. I am hoping that someone may be able to help. From my original
post:
There exists an option in
the web reporting pages called 'Update Now'. It allows you to update
reports from the web server's logs without performing the log parsing
from the command line. You must change the directive
'AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser' from 0 to 1 in your awstats .conf file
to activate this practical feature. However, I have understand that the
web-based update process needs access to the system's httpd access_log
file (usually in /var/log/httpd). I have changed permissions on this
file to httpd_sys_script_ra_t, but it was not sufficient to make the
update feature work.
Also, the awstats.pl file has permissions:
-rwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:htpd_sys_script_exec_t awstats.pl
I can generate reports from the command line with no problem, but the
web based tool returns an error saying that I do not have proper
permissions.
I found one reference to another user having the same problem. The
posting is minimal, but implies that 'touch /.autorelabel && shutdown -r
now' fixed the problem. I basically understand what this command is
intended to do, but I am concerned that executing it might do more
damage to files that I've chcon'ed in the past, than it will fix.
Any advise would be much appreciated. Please help!
