CentOS + Apache + Phusion Passenger + SELinux = Fun

[Dmitry A. Ustalov]

Hello.

I've installed Passenger Apache2 Module, and trying to start webserver
at my
CentOS 5.3 SELinux-Enforced machine.

Apache starts, but Passenger (certainly) not. Just look at /var/log/
httpd/error_log:

[ pid=5433 file=ext/common/ApplicationPoolServerExecutable.cpp:732
time=2009-07-23 17:47:17.528 ]:

And simultaneously with it, lots of funny messages appears at
setroubleshoot browser.

Is there a way to start Passenger over SELinux-Enforced System? How?

Thanks.

So, don't care. I turned off this garbage.
