Thanks for the tips Chris! The selinux/apache link looks very interesting!

httpd_sys_content_t might be a more secure choice, as SELinux might give
Apache permissions to write httpd_log_t. But I'm pretty rusty on the
details. Also, explicitly setting the context is fine for a temporary
solution, but if "restorecon" is ever run, the changes you made might
not stick.

About, or able?

Indeed. In any case, http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-apache-fc3/
is a good read for securing Apache with SELinux.
