Awstats search access denied

[Geert Janssens]

Hi,

I have updated my Centos 6 installation a couple of days ago to include the most recent 
packages.

Since that moment my awstats cron job is not working anymore. This cron job reads apache 
log files and generates statistics for this.

Here is a sample of the avc I get:
----

In /var/log/messages the corresponding message is:
May 25 10:01:12 abmpub6 setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/perl from search 
access on the directory /var/www/hosting/iyoga.be/log/access_log. For complete SELinux 
messages.
run sealert -l cb05aa4b-3270-49e5-be6f-37c8a6cadc56

The first oddity to note is that /var/www/hosting/iyoga.be/log/access_log is not a
directory, 
but a file.

Next I'm confused with the labels. The file is labeled
system_u:object_r:httpd_log_t:s0, but the 
avc seems to complain about system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0

Currently installed packages:
selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-195.el6_4.5.noarch
awstats-7.0-3.el6.noarch

I have no idea what happens here, let alone how to fix it. Can anyone shed some more light

on this ?

Thank you,

Geert
