I am trying to reconfigure the default port apache uses on RedHat Enterprise Linux 8 by usine the semanage command. When I try to run the semanage command, I get the following error:

-bash: semanage: command not found

I have the following dependancies installed:

policycoreutils
policycoreutils-python

These are the only 2 dependancies that should be required for this to work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get semanage to work?

Alternatively, does anyone have a different way to re-configure apache to use a different default port like 8080?

policycoreutils-python-utils is the right package and contains semanage. A handy trick to ensure the right packages are installed is to call yum with the binary you want to install:

yum install /usr/sbin/semanage

That way you get semanage plus all necessary deps.

But back to your problem: The package policycoreutils-python does not exist. So either that is a typo and you are talking about policycoreutils-python-utils or something else is going on.

You might want to call semanage with the full path of /usr/sbin/semanage to make sure a messed up PATH variable does not interfere.
