Disable SELinux
Use the /usr/sbin/getenforce or /usr/sbin/sestatus commands to check the status of SELinux
$ /usr/sbin/getenforce Enforcing
or
$ /usr/sbin/sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: enforcing Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 23 Policy from config file: targeted
Change SELINUX from enforcing to disabled in /etc/selinux/config
sudo vi /etc/selinux/config # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. SELINUX=enforcing # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values: # targeted - Targeted processes are protected, # mls - Multi Level Security protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted
sudo reboot
