I guess this should be
/var/www/moodle/data(/.*)?
gen_context(system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t,s0)
Why this ? Does we really need to allow apache to "write"
the moodle web
pages ?
currently : $ ll -Z /var/www/moodle/ drwxr-xr-x. apache apache
system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 data drwxr-xr-x. root root
system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0 web
Sounds good to me, please open a bugzilla.
I also already added labeling for /var/lib/moodle
@moodle packager, Why not use a more standard (FHS) layout
/var/www/moodle/web => /usr/share/moodle /var/www/moodle/data =>
/var/lib/moodle
@Dan, we already have some other web app with SElinux context (ex, see
glpi), managed in package scriptlet. Do you really plan to add all this
directories in default policy ?
Remi.
