SELinux blocks apachectl from stopping apache

[Konopka.Andre]

Hi list,

I use a self compiled apache-2.2.27 on a CentOS6.5 box

I run into trouble with the apachectl command.
If I try stop apache with 'apachectl stop' it complains:

(13)Permission denied: Error retrieving pid file run/httpd.pid
Remove it before continuing if it is corrupted.

Audit logs shows the problem:

type=AVC msg=audit(1404897126.819:7069): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=23031 comm="httpd" name="httpd.pid" dev=dm-0 ino=529958 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=file
type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1404897126.819:7069): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=no exit=-13 a0=7ff99e37eff0 a1=80000 a2=1b6 a3=1 items=0 ppid=23029 pid=23031 auid=500 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=pts0 ses=1 comm="httpd" exe="/usr/sbin/httpd" subj=unconfined_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 key=(null)

BTW Stopping apache with 'httpd -k stop' works fine.

[root at centos1 conf]# ls -lZ /usr/sbin/apachectl
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:initrc_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/apachectl
[root at centos1 conf]#

[root at centos1 conf]# ls -lZ /usr/sbin/httpd
-rwxr-xr-x. root root system_u:object_r:httpd_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/httpd
[root at centos1 conf]#

[root at centos1 audit]# ps -efZ | grep -i apachectl
unconfined_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 root   23066  2412  0 11:20 pts/0    00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/sbin/apachectl

[root at centos1 audit]# ls -lZ httpd.pid
-rw-r--r--. root root unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 httpd.pid

How can I fix it?
