httpd avc denied problem

[Arthur Stephens]

I installed the policy sources on my fedora core 3. :)
Got to step one
Edit /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/file_contexts/file_contexts

There is no such file  :(
[root at webmail ~]# ls /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/file_contexts/
distros.fc  misc  program  types.fc
[root at webmail ~]#
