Do:

/sbin/service auditd status

If stopped then start it. If not found then install it through yum.

The auditd log file is /var/log/audit/audit.log which contains all the
selinux messages if auditd is running. Use your application and all the
selinux messages/denials will get posted in log file.

read manpage audit2allow. It has some very useful hints to build local
modules. It comes in very handy in scenarios where either the
application is not selinux aware or proprietary ( not covered by fedora
) for which selinux denials cannot be bugzillad.
