Why are you trying to write log files into your homespace? The norm is that you serve website files (pages, pictures, etc) from somewhere deeper inside /var/www/, and logs are inside /var/log/httpd/ Using other locations results in headbutting with SELinux, which tries to limit servers from fooling around in areas they should leave alone. If you must serve files from your own space, the default allowed source directory was /home/<your-user-name>/public_html/, and you needed to allow other users access to your homespace and that directory. It's more secure not to allow that, it's too easy for things to escape outside of the server filepaths and read or write where they shouldn't. One of the many dumb webserving guides I've seen on the net allows someone accessing the webserver to read the logfiles through the webserver. Sometimes I think the various data breaches we keep seeing in the news are down to barely competent admins following such guides. Never use turnkey solutions for public services. You need to know how to do it from scratch. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.118.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Apr 24 16:01:50 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
