Ubuntu 22.04 - SELinux Blocking Apache HTTPD from Accessing SSL Certificates
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with I'm having a hard time understanding I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm working with a frustrating scenario on my Ubuntu 22.04 server running Apache HTTPD. After enabling SELinux (set to enforcing mode), my server fails to start properly and the logs show repeated entries like this: ``` [behavior] [client 192.168.1.10] AH01912: Failed to access /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt: Permission denied ``` I've confirmed that the certificate files exist at the specified location and that the file permissions are set to 644, allowing the web server user (www-data) to read them. To troubleshoot, I tried temporarily setting SELinux to permissive mode with the command `setenforce 0`, which allowed Apache to start without issues, confirming that SELinux is indeed the culprit. I attempted to configure the appropriate SELinux context for the files using: ```bash sudo chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t /etc/ssl/certs/server.crt sudo chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t /etc/ssl/certs/server.key ``` After applying the context, I restarted Apache, but I still see the same permission behavior in the logs. I also looked into the SELinux boolean settings with: ```bash getsebool -a | grep httpd ``` I found that `httpd_can_network_connect` is enabled, but I am unsure if there are other settings that need to be adjusted. I've tried various combinations of SELinux contexts but none seem to resolve the scenario. How can I properly configure SELinux to allow Apache to access the SSL certificate files without exposing my server to unnecessary risks? Any help on the right context settings or boolean adjustments would be greatly appreciated! For context: I'm using Bash on Ubuntu. What am I doing wrong? I'm on CentOS using the latest version of Bash. Thanks, I really appreciate it! For context: I'm using Bash on CentOS. Could this be a known issue?
