[mapserver-users] PostGIS Connection Failure

[Carmen Delia Hernández Pérez]

Hello,

You not have why  disable SELINUX. you must allow Apache connects with Postgis. You can execute this command

sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1

This is really weird. Are you sure the application outside of your VM that works has the same connection string as the one that doesn't works ? Both applications (the one that works and the one that doesn´t) are using the same version of Mapserver ? Both applications (the one that works and the one that doesn´t) are hosted in the same machine/VM ?

I encountered the same exact problem on 64-bit CentOS 6.5: mapserv is able to connect to the database except when executed by apache httpd.

I saw a note that SELinux may be the cause, so I tried:

          echo 0 > /selinux/enforce

and it fixed the problem.

What are the implications of applying this fix? Does it impact system security in unfavorable ways?
