SELinux

SELinux

If your server uses SELinux, you need to configure it to work with webtrees.

Read-write access

webtrees uses the folder /data for file storage. To enable read-write access to this folder, you should run these commands:

semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t "/path/to/webtrees/data(/.*)?"

restorecon -R /path/to/webtrees/data

Outgoing HTTP requests

webtrees needs to make outgoing HTTP requests for various reasons, including:

• check for updates
• geo-location lookups

To enable this, you should run this command:

setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
