Greetings;
Wanting to see who might have visited my simple web page, I installed awstats
from the fedora repo today.
The awstats selinux helper seems to be an empty file, yumex win't dl it or
install it even when checked.
>From the yumex screen:
7:59:02 : Package Queue:
17:59:02 : Packages to install
17:59:02 : ---> awstats-selinux-6.7-1.fc8.noarch
17:59:02 : Preparing for install/remove/update
17:59:02 : --> Preparing for install
17:59:02 : Package awstats-selinux is obsoleted by awstats, trying to install
awstats-6.8-1.fc8.noarch instead
17:59:02 : Package awstats-6.8-1.fc8.noarch already installed and latest
version
17:59:06 : Error in Dependency Resolution
17:59:06 : Success - empty transaction
which is self-explanatory.
But on attempting to look at my page at localhost, I get connection refused.
So I as root, do:service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [FAILED]
Starting httpd: (13)Permission denied: httpd: could not open error log
file /etc/httpd/logs/error_log.
Unable to open logs
[FAILED]
And an selinux denial that says I can fix it with this:
#> setsebool -P httpd_unified=1
But I've now executed that line several times without success.
I've also gone through the httpd stuff and made much of it 0644 and owned by
apache:apache.
Obviously I'm suffering from the local heat and missing the flashing red light
here, so what is next folks? It was all working AFAIK before I installed
awstats, when running kernel 2.6.26 just yesterday, but now booted to
2.6.27-rc1. Dunno which is the culprit. Help!
