Hey guys, I've got another C7 problem I was hoping to solve. I installed appdynamics-php-agent-4.0.5.0-1.x86_64 on a C7.1 host. It's failing to communicate with it's controller on another host. And this is the interesting part. Whether or not I have SELinux enabled, I have apache reporting SELinux problems.

So I enabled SELinux and started troubleshooting with audit2why. [root at web1:~] #setenforce 1 [root at web1:~] #getenforce Enforcing And I'm seeing messages like these: [root at web1:~] #grep appd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2why -w type=AVC msg=audit(1431305820.292:393420): avc: denied { write } for pid=27289 comm="java" path="/usr/lib/appdynamics-php5/logs/testfile1615417693000946121.tmp" dev="vda" ino=965852 scontext=system_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0 tclass=file Was caused by: Missing type enforcement (TE) allow rule. You can use audit2allow to generate a loadable module to allow this access. The part I am stuck on is using audit2allow to generate a loadable module that can allow this. Can anyone spare any pointers on how to do that? Thanks! Tim -- GPG me!! gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys F186197B

I would check to see if there is a setup/configuration option for your application to put the log files and related in a more standard location (/var/log, /var/run), where it is less likely to run into an issue. This isn't really a C7-specific issue/"problem".

However I'm not aware of any way to change that location since it's an RPM install. Maybe a source install is possible. I'll do some googling.> > This isn't really a C7-specific issue/"problem".Yeah that's right. I said that poorly. I had just been dealing with an issue with systemctl priror to that which was due to it being a C7 machine. But really only because I had been using systemctl. What I'm most curious about is how Apache is reporting SELinux problems whether or not SELinux is enabled. Like I said earlier, if I have SELinux set to off, you still see those kind of messages relating to SELinux when you do a status on httpd. Odd. One thing I did try was to do a restorecon -R -v /usr/lib/appdynamics-php5/. Since it might not be easy to change paths I was hoping to find a way to solve this using SELinux.. Does anyone else have any suggestions on how to solve this?
