Sounds like there may be some problems with your SELinux install, since that
chcon command should work. SELinux is very much a moving target these days,
and to really get into it you'd need to go to the Fedora SELinux mailing
list.
At a glance, it looks like your file system never got labeled properly.
Try:
touch /.autorelabel
reboot
It may take 5 to 10 minutes for the relabeling after reboot, so be patient.
If that doesn't work, head over to the other mailing list.

One problem is that it seems that most of the files in my /home partition
don't have *any* SELinux security context, only newly created files do.
Furthermore, the document above says that files in my home directory should
have type "user_home_t", whereas in fact all of the newly created files in
my home directory which do have a security context just have type "file_t".
Sigh. I'm confused. This is a bit of a baptism by fire -- all I wanted to do
was get on with my work and instead I've spent the morning learning about
SELinux.
I tried to use restorecon, but it segfaults:
$ /sbin/restorecon -R -v /home/darren
/sbin/restorecon reset context
/home/darren:->system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t
Segmentation fault
I need to use either
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_content_t public_html
or
chcon -R -t httpd_user_content_t public_html
I think, so that Apache can access the DocumentRoots of my VirtualHosts
(they're all in ~/public_html/), but when I try either I get:
chcon: can't apply partial context to unlabeled file public_html/
which I take to mean that I also need to supply values for -u and -r, but I
don't what values I should be using.
I'd really appreciate some help!
Best, Darren
