apache

In the configuration I have setup I wish to allow samba and apache to access /var/www I am able to set a context to allow samba access, but then httpd doesn't have access. Using setenforce to 0 eliminates issues so I know that it is SELinux.

In addition: How can I view the context of a folder, and can a folder have multiple contexts?

(CentOS)

Thank you, Josh
