You might find the FC3 SELinux Apache FAQ useful. Most of it is still
useful in FC4, and it's what introduced me to tweaking SELinux policy.

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/sn-debugging-and-customizing.html

The document's examples assume you're using the strict policy rather
than targeted, so watch out for that, but other than that there's
probably enough there to get you sorted.
