FC3, Apache and CGI web app

[Scott Cain <cain@cshl.org>]

Hello,

I am one of the authors of a web application that is widely used in my
community, GBrowse ( http://www.gmod.org/ggb/ ).  We've started
receiving bug reports from users who are trying to install and run it on
Fedora Core 3 systems with SELinux installed and enabled with the
default values from the distribution.  

To do some testing, I've installed FC3 and GBrowse and run into the same
problems.  The only way I've been able to get GBrowse to run is to
disable SELinux.  There are a few reasons I'd rather not tell my users
to do that, so I am looking for a way to leave SELinux enabled and still
run GBrowse.  The first thing I tried was to set httpd_disable_trans=1
(which the GUI calls "Disable SELinux protection for httpd daemon"), but
that doesn't help.  Are there any parameters that I can add
to /etc/selinux/targeted/booleans to allow GBrowse to work?

As far as I can tell, the reason SELinux doesn't like GBrowse is that it
is a cgi that tries to read a directory and files in the apache conf
directory.

Thanks,
Scott
