Wordpress autoupdate
I am trying to migrate my Wordpress blog from my Ubuntu box to a new Fedora 16 box. I was able to migrate all of the content, update URLs in the database, and everything was looking ok. Then I tried to run the autoupdate to get the latest version of Wordpress. This was the result.
Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.3.2-partial-1.zip…
Download failed.: Failed to connect to 72.233.56.138: Permission denied
Installation Failed
The blog directory is owned by Apache and the permissions are set correctly, so I assume this is an SELinux issue. I have no experience with SELinux (nor do I understand its usefulness), but this is what I have to work with. I tried the following commands that I just learned a few hours ago...
chown -R apache /var/www/html/blog/
chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/html/blog/
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t /var/www/html/blog/
...but that didn't change the autoupdate issue. Is this indeed an SELinux concern, and if so how can I fix it?
Thanks!
PS Looking at it a bit closer, it doesn't look like the problem is with the directories to which Wordpress is trying to download the update--rather, it looks like the problem is establishing the connection with the update server. Again, I can't think of any reason this wouldn't work other than SELinux.
