note 103119 added to json.installation

A note for those who are actually using SELinux.... Per dmitryzayats: |Installation steps on CentOs 5.3 include | |# yum install php-devel |# yum install php-pear |# yum install gcc |# pear install pecl/json | |# cd /etc/php.d |# echo "extension=json.so" > json.ini |# service httpd restart | |After that phpinfo() would output | |json support enabled |json version 1.2.1 This is not quite correct on SELinux enabled. You must change the context of the json.so module for SELinux as it adopts the tmp_t context and user-space User.... fix this simply by executing: # chcon -u system_u -t textrel_shlib_t /usr/lib/php/modules/json.so Otherwise...SELinux audit log will show something like: type=AVC msg=audit(1301186547.574:24405): avc: denied { read } for pid=26998 comm="httpd" name="json.so" dev=dm-0 ino=28639463 scontext=user_u:system_r:httpd_t:s0 tcontext=user_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 tclass=file ...and you will see json.ini being parsed and still not see the JSON info section in phpinfo() output as PHP is being denied access to the module by SELinux. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 74.92.230.34 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/json.installation.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/103119 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103119/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103119/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103119/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103119/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103119/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103119/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/103119 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/103119 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
