SELinux policies are very strict on CentOS by default. Apache isn’t allowed to access files outside of its standard directories, nor access network resources. Your local Galaxy apps server is a network resource – even though it’s local.

 

If you want to keep SELinux on then use audit2allow to see what policies will enable access:

 

cat /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow –v

 

Then you can use setsebool (temporary) and setsebool –P (permanent) to enable.

Hello,

That didn't work. The apache restart failed with the following error:

SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/httpd from name_bind access on the tcp_socket port 8081.

Any idea why?

Kind regards,
Makis

Hi,

If you have a line in your Apache conf like 

"Listen 80"

change to 

"Listen 8081"

Hello,

I am sorry but I have really no experience with setting up the Apache web server so I am not really sure how to do that. Can you please help me out with it? My apache configuration file is in /etc/httpd/conf/ directory and there are no directories such as /sites-available/ or /sites-enabled/ (as I would find in an ubuntu installation).

What I did already (after some advice from the server admin) is open up the 8081 port like that:

firewall-cmd  --permanent  --add-port=8081/tcp

firewall-cmd  --reload


and then I got another error:

 [cgi:error] [pid 29603] [client 115.230.124.164:4559] script not found or unable to stat: /var/www/cgi-bin/common

which I tried to solve by adding welcome.html as a recognizable filename in the apache configuration:

<IfModule dir_module>
DirectoryIndex index.html welcome.html
</IfModule>


but nothing worked and now the error_log shows the following:

And the webpage that galaxy is supposed to appear is still blank.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

hi,

 

Maybe sounds silly, but have you tried to put the apache configuration in a virtual host within the sites-enable site?

 

 

cheers

Subject: [galaxy-dev] Galaxy on Centos via Apache - connection refused

 

Dear all,

I've been trying to set up a Galaxy instance on my CentOS server but even when I manage to run the simplest configuration correctly I can't seem to get it right on my browser as the connection is refused.

I have changed the host to 0.0.0.0, the port to 8081 and made the appropriate changes in Apache configuration file:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/galaxy_test(.*) http://localhost:8081$1 [P]
RewriteRule ^/galaxy_test$ /galaxy_test/ [R]
RewriteRule ^/galaxy_test/static/style/(.*) /home/galaxy_test/galaxy/static/june_2007_style/blue/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/galaxy_test/static/scripts/(.*) /home/galaxy_test/galaxy/static/scripts/packed/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/galaxy_test/static/(.*) /home/galaxy_test/galaxy/static/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/galaxy_test/favicon.ico /home/galaxy_test/galaxy/static/favicon.ico [L]
RewriteRule ^/galaxy_test/robots.txt /home/galaxy_test/galaxy/static/robots.txt [L]

So when I tried to run it the first time I got the "temporarily out of service" error on my browser and the following error in apache log:

[Mon Oct 19 05:56:45.308714 2015] [proxy:error] [pid 18505] (13)Permission denied: AH00957: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8081 (*) failed
[Mon Oct 19 05:56:45.308774 2015] [proxy_http:error] [pid 18505] [client 185.25.151.159:39629] AH01114: HTTP: failed to make connection to backend: localhost

Searching the internet I found the following solution:

/usr/sbin/setsebool httpd_can_network_connect 1
/usr/sbin/setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1


but when I restarted my galaxy my browser would now show just a blank page and the error log of apache was:

[Mon Oct 19 15:29:09.425120 2015] [proxy:error] [pid 29699] (111)Connection refused: AH00957: HTTP: attempt to connect to 127.0.0.1:8081 (*) failed

Has anyone encountered that?

Kind regards,
Makis
