Calling SELinux Expert...

[Gavin Young <gavin young clendons co nz>]

Hey guys, hopefully someone out there can help me with this because I'm
an SELinux virgin so to speak.

We have a RHEL v4 box running apache amongst other things. No changes
have been made to the standard Redhat policies. 

We are wanting to run a perl based web app (Sql-Ledger)
from /usr/local/sql-ledger but SELinux is stopping us.

With SELinux disabled it works correctly. When SELinux protection of the
HTTPD daemon is switched on the browser displays: Internal Server Error
and /var/log/messages reports

Mar  3 15:13:23 zorb1 kernel: audit(1109816003.103:0): avc:  denied
{ execute } for  pid=24711 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=login.pl dev=dm-0
ino=9228595 scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:usr_t
tclass=file

>From what I can tell SELinux is stopping scripts being run from any
other directory apart from /var/www/cgi-bin. I have tried moving the
sql-ledger directory into cgi-bin but that doesn't appear to help
because it is still a sub-directory of cgi-bin.

This problem must have come up before... Any help would be much
appreciated.
