Problems with httpd and SElinux.

[Daniel B. Thurman]

Folks,

I was asked to post this information here.  To explain things,
I have installed FrontPage extensions on FC4 but not realizing
that I had to first disable SElinux for httpd first, but to make
a long story short, I was able to install FP and then restore
SElinux protections for httpd, but on reboot, SElinux refused
to allow httpd to start and I suspect it had something to do
with the FrontPage additions to the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
file.  I currently have SElinux protections turned off for
https. Below is the audit file, hope it helps show the problem.
