I wondered if any of the users out there had any experience with either 
configuring SELinux or mod_security to work with a biomart installation.
  Are you using BioMart 0.7 or 0.8?

  At Manchester, the pubmed2ensembl56.smith.man.ac.uk server runs BioMart 0.7 
under SELinux and as far as I remember, I only had to create some custom 
modules to allow for outgoing connections in order to query NCBI's eutils. You 
can create SELinux policy modules as described here:

 If you get in touch with Casey in Manchester, then he should be able to direct 
you to his internal wiki where I have described the workflow to create custom 
policy modules step-by-step.

  If you are using BioMart 0.8, then you also should be able to create the 
SELinux policy modules as described above. You might have to iterate the 
process up to 5 times before you have created enough policies that allow the 
server to function correctly. Unfortunately, this process cannot be optimised, 
because each time you grant the server a bit more rights, it will proceed a tad 
further before running into another violation. Policy creation has to be done 
iteratively.
