Likely https_can_connect or wtf ever that is.

Obsolesce

Try this to see if it resolves the issue:
semanage permissive -a httpd_t

If that works, then you can do it properly with fcontext

Why put all of httpd into permissive?

Quick test to verify issue

semanage permissive -a httpd_t

I used wp-cli on my last new server setup with WP. I did not set this boolean, so the setup process must have done it.

[jbusch@bnaweb01 ~]$ sudo getsebool -a | grep http | grep ' on'
httpd_builtin_scripting --> on
httpd_can_network_connect --> on
httpd_enable_cgi --> on

It's been awhile since I set mine up per my blog instructions. I don't remember having to do that. Maybe I did, but I didn't incluse that in my instructions so I don't think I did.

Last I knew, it is not enable by default. So I assumed that wp-cli did it.

SELinux was the problem. Next is narrowing down what config to fix, so everything isn't permissive.

Did oyu check the boolean's as noted?

After trying out permissive, yes.
httpd_can_network_connect is off, though I thought I had taken care of that during my setup process. I know there is a setseboolcommand, but I want to see how to do it using fcontext as @Obsolesce suggested.

That I'm a n00b at SELinux and am probably spouting nonsense or that I'm following @Obsolesce 's advice?

That you don't even understand the advice you are following.

What @Obsolesce told you to do was to set ALL things marked as httpd_t to permissive. Effectively no different than setenforce 0 but jsut to the things with the tag httpd_t.

Change the boolean. Turn enforcing back on.

JaredBusch

@Obsolesce said in Unable add plugins and themes to Wordpress:

httpd_can_network_connect

First go look up WTF that boolean does if you want to learn something.

The name is plenty descriptive for most.

I didn't type my thought clearly. The end goal is to find the right way to change httpd_can_network_connect to true, and make sure the value is persistent.

That does not mesh with WTF you just stated. The two are not the same thing.

You want to set a Boolean. Then you fucking use the tool designed to change booleans.

Just did, and it makes sense.

@JaredBusch said in Unable add plugins and themes to Wordpress:

httpd_can_network_connect

And setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on appears to be the answer .

And has nothing to do with contexts
