Yes it is...after I created the file by hand! :)  In any case, it didn't
help.

Yes, the type is usr_t.  BTW, I have /usr mounted on a separate
partition (actually, the whole server is setup up with LVM).

I wanted to keep hacking away, but I couldn't take it anymore.  I setup
RT with modperl2 instead, and viola, it worked.  RT 3.2.2 is running.

There are still denials, though I haven't noticed any problems in the
app itself (here are two):

 avc:  denied  { ioctl } for  pid=4439 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd
path=/var/www/rt/bin/webmux.pl dev=dm-5 ino=28748
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t
tcontext=root:object_r:httpd_sys_script_exec_t tclass=file

avc:  denied  { create } for  pid=4439 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd name=fastcgi
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=root:object_r:httpd_log_t
tclass=dir

Thank you very much for your help.  Not having solved the problem with
FastCGI is obviously bad since getting selinux to work would have been
the better answer.

Regards,
