SELinux preventing Apache from writing to a file

Solution 1:

As already stated, you should instruct SELINUX to allow writing to that file. The right thing to do is to mark /var/www/webapp/k/site/ as of type httpd_sys_rw_content_t

To permanently mark that directory as httpd_sys_rw_content_t, you can use the command semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/webapp/k/site(/.*)?; restorecon -RF /var/www/webapp/k/site/ This will survive SELINUX binary policy updates and filesystem relabeling.

Solution 2:

For files you want Apache to be able to write to, the type must be set to httpd_sys_rw_content_t.

Solution 3:

This will change the permissions:

chcon --type httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/webapp/k/site/k.log
