CentOS 7 - SELinux Blocking HTTPD Access to User Directory with 'Permission Denied' Error
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm running a CentOS 7 server with SELinux enabled, and I'm trying to configure Apache (httpd) to serve files from a user's home directory located at `/home/user/public_html`. Despite the correct Apache configuration, I keep receiving a '403 Forbidden' error when I attempt to access it via a web browser. The specific error log entry is: `access denied for user 'user'`. I've verified that the permissions for the directory are set correctly with `chmod 755 /home/user/public_html`, and the ownership is `user:user`. Here’s the relevant part of my Apache configuration: ```apache <Directory /home/user/public_html> AllowOverride All Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Require all granted </Directory> ``` I've checked the SELinux status with `sestatus` and it's enforcing. I suspect that SELinux might be blocking access, but I’m not sure how to configure it properly to allow access to this directory. I tried running `getsebool httpd_enable_homedirs` and it returned `off`. I also attempted to set it to `on` using `setsebool -P httpd_enable_homedirs on`, but the problem persists. I also tried temporarily setting SELinux to permissive mode with `setenforce 0`, and that resolved the issue, which reinforces my suspicion about SELinux. What further steps can I take to properly configure SELinux to allow httpd access to user directories without compromising security? Are there any configuration changes I need to make, or is there a specific context I need to set for the directory? This is my first time working with Bash latest. Any feedback is welcome! This issue appeared after updating to Bash 3.10. I appreciate any insights!
