I have had considerable success in getting ser working under selinux particularly as I am new to linux having just recently moved over from working in a windows environment. However I have had a lot of problems trying to resolve a permissions problem that is resulting in serweb kicking out the error. FIFO not running or bad path to it I have tried all the usual stuff such as including the lines I have also turned off selinux. fifo="/tmp/ser_fifo" fifo_mode=0777 or sock_mode=0666 I now believe that this may be something to do with context, is there anybody that has experienced this problem. Below is the error I am getting using dmseg, it increments each time I refresh the admin page. audit(1134382735.156:78): avc: denied { getattr } for pid=2682 comm="httpd" name="ser_fifo" dev=sda2 ino=1887848 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:tmp_t tclass=fifo_file Below are the permissions on the ser_fifo and its context. /dev/ brw-rw---- root disk system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t sda1 brw-rw-rw- root disk system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t sda2 brw-rw---- root disk system_u:object_r:fixed_disk_device_t sda3 /tmp/ -rw------- root root root:object_r:tmp_t php-install.GQ3113 prwxrwxrwx root root root:object_r:tmp_t ser_fifo prw-rw-rw- root root root:object_r:tmp_t ser_receiver_3011 Any help would be very much appreciated.
