1480935 - SElinux permissions for bugzilla

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Bugzilla :: Installation & Upgrading, defect)

Description

[Russell Almond]

Attachment: selinux.fix.sh

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:61.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/61.0
Build ID: 20180704192850

Steps to reproduce:

Installed Buzilla 5.0.4 on RHEL 7.5 server using tarball.
SElinux is set to enforcing.
Under administrator control panel, went to configure sslbase parameters. 


Actual results:

Got error message
 The new value for sslbase is invalid: Failed to connect to
pluto.coe.fsu.edu:443; unable to enable SSL. 

I had no difficulty connecting to sslbase web page using browser.


Expected results:

The configuration files should have been updated.

Note that the issue was an SElinux problem and the fix was to enter the following commands (as root)
setbool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
setbool -P nis_enabled 1

I have prepared as small shell script containing the SE linux commands which need to be run to allow bugzilla to run under RHEL 7.5 (and probably CentOS 7.5 as well).  I recommend including this file in the bugzilla home directory and adding a note about it in the installation instructions.
