It looked odd to me as well. Apparently, the SELinux policy
tries to help with such a configuration (though it wouldn't
match Patrick's).
Checking the labeling via `semanage fcontext -l` the
following patterns are in place (among many others for
/var/www/*):
SELinux fcontext type Context
===============================================
/var/www(/.*)? all files
system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t:s0
/var/www(/.*)?/logs(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:httpd_log_t:s0
Neither of these would match the log files in the
configuration posted earlier:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName bree.org.uk
ServerAdmin pocallag...@gmail.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/bree.org.uk/html
ErrorLog /var/www/bree.org.uk/error.log
CustomLog /var/www/bree.org.uk/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>
So while the logs wouldn't be served up by httpd as part of
the document root, they would both be denied by SELinux
AFAICT.
Putting them both under /var/www/bree.org.uk/logs/ would
help in that respect; though personally I'd put them under
/var/log/httpd unless I were running a web hosting service
or something¹.
¹ and if I'm ever running a web hosting service, I have
likely lost my mind and should be ignored (more so than I
am now, if that's possible).
