I want to put the document root for an application on a separate paritition that has more space. When I try to configure this I can't access the files in the new location. I've got the SELinux attributes set on the directory and its files, so I'm thinking it's something about the parent path that SELinux doesn't like, but I don't know where that's handled.
My partition is mounted to /mnt/bigdisk2, and I put the app in the wbb3tmp subdirectory there:
[root@centos wbb3-tmp]# ls -Za drwxr-xr-x apache apache system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t . drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:file_t .. -rw-r--r-- apache apache system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t WCFSetup.tar.gz -rw-r--r-- apache apache system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t index.html -rw-r--r-- apache apache system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t install.php -rw-r--r-- apache apache system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t test.php [root@centos wbb3-tmp]# pwd /mnt/bigdisk2/wbb3-tmp
My Apache VirtualHost block contains this:
Alias /wbb3-tmp /mnt/bigdisk2/wbb3-tmp
<Directory "/mnt/bigdisk2/wbb3-tmp"> AllowOverride AuthConfig Options Limit Options +Indexes -ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
This works if I disable SELinux.
