You can always switch to permissive mode, kind of a middle ground where 
the rules are checked but no active "blocking" done.

Using enforced selinux will cause a lot of restrictions that are out 
over those generally made by the application developers. I feel AppArmor 
is a bit more relaxed with their defaults. Sometime even AppArmor can 
get badly in the way too, specially if you distro uses some of the 
AppArmor default files for applications that have other locations of 
file, but that is another story.

This tends to point on a solution that isn't a proper one but a ad-hoc 
solution, I have always this issue at work, where my co-workers who 
ain't that Linux/Unix minded, they just make crazy scripts and think 
that solves their problem for it worked when they tested it, but when 
the machine is rebooted it don't work anymore, don't really matter how 
many times I point out that they may need a service that handles it for 
them.

As far as I know, most had /etc/apache and then redhat decided for 
/etc/httpd instead, but still I think things are quite organized, 
/etc/{apache,httpd} for configurations, /var/www for web content, 
/etc/{default,conf.d} for configure some daemon settings.
