lighttpd doesn't start - selinux

Lighttpd doesn't start due to a conflict with file descriptors:

Issue

# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
Stopping lighttpd:                                         [FAILED]
Starting lighttpd: 2012-06-03 00:57:12: (server.c.722) couldn't set 'max filedescriptors' Permission denied
                                                           [FAILED]

Solution:

Install SE utils

yum install policycoreutils-python

Create SELinux module to allow lighttpd to set its own open file descriptors limit

/usr/sbin/semodule -DB

# /etc/init.d/auditd restart
Stopping auditd:                                           [  OK  ]
Starting auditd:                                           [  OK  ]

#grep lighttpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M lighttpdmaxfds

#/usr/sbin/semodule -i lighttpdmaxfds.pp 

 # /etc/init.d/lighttpd restart
