Uploading files to wordpress and SELinux problems

If you use Fedora and WordPress and you get this error while trying to upload an image to your post:

The uploaded file could not be moved to /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content

All you need to do is labeling your uploads directory with the httpd_sys_content_t type:

[root@nyarlathotep wp-content]# pwd
/usr/share/wordpress/wp-content

[root@nyarlathotep wp-content]# chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t uploads/ -R

I hope this is useful for somebody else.

    Thanks for creating such a useful weblog. this site happens to be not only informative but also very artistic too. There normally are a limited number of experts who can write technical content that creatively. A lot of people search for articles about a topic like this. I have gone through several blogs to build up on knowhow about this.I will check back often !!
