    I have PHP module linked against library in non-standard place. When
    starting Apache web server, it loads PHP module, which in turn attempts
    to load this library. This is what I get in /var/log/messages each time
    I start Apache:

    kernel: audit(1107201979.916:0): avc: denied { execute } for pid=3248
    path=/opt/foobar/lib/libfoobar.so.1.0.0.1 dev=dm-1 ino=560573
    scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t tclass=file

    I believe this is due to the fact that Apache is restricted in what
    files it can open using SELinux policies. How to allow Apache to use an
    library in non-standard place (/opt/foobar/lib for example)? Preferably
    in a way that will not be overwritten when system is updated (if
    possible, of course).
