no worries though I did move the csp.ini file from the inetpub folder to the intersystems folder and voila I can get there, though what is odd that if I use the old server address to login to that instance on the new machine it brings me right back to the login screen yet it works fine from everywhere else. and if I try to connect from the new machine I get error 500. 

Hi Erik,  yes for the most part you have it correct, though we have a link. (the variable wasn't what I wanted) in a nutshell I'm trying to pass the link to the application to write out a report or file. vs the whole file path.  and just to clarify we have been running on VMS for years which allows for logicals and symbols which we then can use for a shortcut. 

I didn't realize that selinux was part of RHEL and I changed the path to reflect where the log files is.

facstestlinux mgr]#  semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t '/opt/cspgateway/bin/CSP.log'
[root@facstestlinux mgr]# restorecon -v '/opt/cspgateway/bin/CSP.log'
restorecon reset /opt/cspgateway/bin/CSP.log context unconfined_u:object_r:usr_t:s0->unconfined_u:object_r:httpd_sys_rw_content_t:s0
[root@facstestlinux mgr]#
 

still not working and I tried the whole dir after just doing the log file also restarted httpd and nada...
