However, ejabberd says in it's log file:

[error] [...] Cannot store file [...] from [...] permission denied

you are sure that selinux is causing this? you do have an AVC?

At least it looks as if ejabberd tries to save the file right where it should but can't.

So why and how can't and can I set the directory to system_u? Since there are directories labled as that, there has to be way to do that.

try -F

``` # restorecon -RF /srv/data/ejabberd/ ```

or the manual way

``` # chcon -R -u system_u /srv/data/ejabberd/ ```
