proxy_pass isn't working when SELinux is enabled, why?

Question

I\'m having an application listening on port 8081 and Nginx running on port 8080. The proxy pass statement looks like:

$ cat /var/etc/opt/lj/output/services/abc.

Always prefer changing types to creating custom policies. In this case, Nginx will serve files with the httpd_sys_content_t type. Assuming your files are located in /var/www:

semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_content_t /var/www/*
restorecon -R -v /var/www
