Recommended SELinux settings on CentOS

[Steve Lapommeray]

Hello,

What is the recommended SELinux context for the AtoM uploads/ folder and its subfolders on CentOS 7? Does AtoM have a default SELinux context that it sets on new uploads?

I've tried recursively setting the folders to use the httpd_sys_rw_content_t context, but I will occasionally get permission denied errors when trying to save a change to a record or upload a file, and the context in a subfolder of uploads/r will end up having just httpd_sys_content_t (no rw) as a type.

Thank you,

Steve

Hi Steve, 

Artefactual does not test or develop against CentOS or RHEL, so I can't personally offer much advice. I can tell you that in our default installation instructions, AtoM expects all subdirectories to be owned by the www-data user. See: 

• https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/latest/admin-manual/installation/linux/ubuntu-bionic/#filesystem-permissions
  

Meanwhile, none of these community docs appear to be updated for the current 2.6 version of AtoM, but hopefully they might offer general guidance to help you resolve the permissions issues with the uploads directory - see: 

• https://wiki.accesstomemory.org/Community/Community_resources/Documentation#Instructions_for_installing_AtoM_using_RedHat_or_CentOS
  

Hope it helps; good luck!
