You should read "man httpd_selinux", which has notes on running CGI
programs under SELinux.

You generally need to set the SELinux context type of CGI programs to
httpd_sys_script_exec_t:

# chcon -R -t httpd_sys_script_exec_t /usr/lib/nagios/cgi

Is this the nagios version in Fedora Extras? If it is, failure to work
with SELinux enabled should be bugzilla-ed.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the reply. I manged the above before I read you rmessage.
Thanks for the heads up though. Would you be able to help on the next
"search" error message.

It's being denied access to search the /var/log directory to see what's in it.

Just to add this is a nagios install from source.

Is there some particular reason you're not using the package in Extras, which *may* have solved these problems already?


Paul.
