Michael,

I had the exact same problem using CentOS. I saw from gdb that selinux was causing the problems. I couldn't solve it, and had to install RHEL4 instead. There was some communication about this
on the list.

Nice that you discovered how to deal with it, and yes it would be great if you could add it to
the FAQ or install instructions on haxe.org.

Good stuff,

  ok, the trouble got solved now. It was, however, far from trivial...

  The root cause is selinux being enabled. It disallows something done
  by neko (looks like executing memory), and makes apache crash
  mysteriously.

  So the way to get this resolved is to apply the following selinux
  policy (named nekohttpd for instance):

module nekohttpd 1.0;

require {
        type httpd_t;
        class process execmem;
}

#============= httpd_t ==============
allow httpd_t self:process execmem;

  if this particular one doesn't work for your system, here is the
  more generic approach:

  1. install audit:
     yum install audit
  2. start audit daemon:
     /etc/init.d/auditd start
  3. try starting apache:
     /etc/init.d/httpd start
  4. make the policy to permit everything apache is failing to do:
     grep http /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M nekohttpd


  now you have the compiled nekohttpd.pp policy - only install it:
  semodule -i nekohttpd.pp

  Nothing fancy after all :) But this probably should go to FAQ or
  installation guide, otherwise it is really difficult to solve (if
  you have never even heard of selinux especially).
