Editing EPrints and SELinux (section)

== Setting SELinux Booleans ==
These SELinux booleans are tailored towards RHEL-based Linux.  If you are running SELinux on a Debian/Ubuntu flavour of Linux they are likely to be different.

You will definitely need to modify the SELinux boolean so that Apache (httpd) to be able to send email:
 setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail 1
Unless you are running an absolutely vanilla repository you will almost certainly need to allow APache (httpd) to connect to the network:
 setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
In particular this should allow EPrints to connect to LDAP to authenticate user login and allow connecting to remote detabases.  There are also the following options for these two things but ''httpd_can_network_connect'' should be sufficient.
 setsebool -P httpd_can_connect_ldap 1
 setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1
By default the following booleans for httpd should be set on:
 httpd_enable_cgi
 httpd_builtin_scripting
 httpd_graceful_shutdown
There is no need to turn any of these off.  However, the ''httpd_builtin_scripting'' is probably not needed as ModPerl uses ''httpd_enable_cgi'', which definitely should not be turned off. Having ''httpd_graceful_shutdown'' is useful for reloading Apache after making changes to EPrints configuration.
