Based on the exhibit, which file has an incorrect SELinux context for serving web content via Apache?

⚠ Common exam trap

CompTIA Linux+ often tests the distinction between file permissions (DAC) and SELinux contexts (MAC), where candidates assume that correct ownership and permissions (e.g., 644, owned by apache) are sufficient, overlooking that SELinux must also allow the httpd process to access the file via the correct context type.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

index.html

(index.html) because the exhibit shows that index.html has the SELinux context type 'user_home_t', which is not accessible by Apache's httpd process. Apache requires files served via HTTP to have the 'httpd_sys_content_t' context type (or 'httpd_sys_rw_content_t' for writable content) to be readable by the httpd daemon. Without this context, SELinux will block Apache from serving the file, even if file permissions and ownership are correct.

    Both

    Why it's wrong here

    Only index.html is incorrect.
