CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 Practice Question

A CentOS file server also hosts an internal web application from /var/www/html. A junior administrator recently copied user-supplied files into that directory with the command cp -a /home/upload/*.pdf /var/www/html/. Immediately afterward, the application began returning HTTP 403 Forbidden when those PDFs are requested. The Apache error log shows "Permission denied," and /var/log/audit/audit.log contains AVC messages in which httpd_t is denied read access to objects labeled user_home_t. No traditional POSIX permissions were changed.

Which action should you take first to restore user access while keeping SELinux protections in place?

  • Temporarily disable SELinux enforcement with setenforce 0, verify access, and re-enable it after testing.

  • Add Require all granted to the Apache virtual-host configuration and reload the httpd service.

  • Recursively change ownership of the files to apache:apache and set permissions to 755.

  • Run restorecon -R /var/www/html to reset the files and directories to their default SELinux contexts.
