Fedora 11 - compile error and SE Linux [solved]

[Blokker_1999]

While we are looking into providing binarys we came across a problem on Fedora 11 (maybe other versions and distributions as well)

Quickfix:

Open the file ./vendor/ehs/httpresponse.cpp in your favorite editor (nano, vi, emacs, ... )

After

#include "httpresponse.h"

add (on a new line)

#include

SE Linux

SELinux can also cause a problem. When starting the server you get the following error:

/home/MTA10/svn/branches/1.0/MTA10_Server/output/net.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied

ERROR: Loading network library (net.so) failed!

Press Q to shut down the server!

SElinux (present in newer 2.6 kernels) is refusing certain rights to our net.so .

You can either disable SElinux (e.g. by running)

/usr/sbin/setenforce 0

. But that would not be the way a good sysadmin works.

You can also change the security context of the files involved. As root, run the following commands:

relative to the output dir that houses mta-server

[root@F11 output]# chcon -t textrel_shlib_t core.so

[root@F11 output]# chcon -t textrel_shlib_t xmll.so

[root@F11 output]# chcon -t textrel_shlib_t net.so

[root@F11 output]# chcon -t textrel_shlib_t mods/deathmatch/deathmatch.so
