seLinux httpd_read_user_content help

Feb 03, 2010  By jfireball66

I am trying to get apache to access some PHP files and selinux keeps blocking me. It told me I need to set httpd_read_user_content to true. I did this and it worked. The problem is that setting this to true sounds a little dangerous, like it could cause security problems. Is there a way I can change the permissions on the folder that holds the php files, which is under apache's Document Root, so that I access them without setting httpd_read_user_content to true?

Thanks,

By the way the owner of the file is set to apache:apache and I am running Fedora 12.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
