Regardless of your technical opinion towards SELINUX whether it’s a necessary evil or not worth it you can either change the default state to disabled or permissive which may help trouble shoot permission errors. To modify SELINUX we need to edit the file /etc/selinux/config, do not forget to become root before modifying the files.
[root@localhost ~]# nano /etc/selinux/config
Search for the line that reads :
SELINUX=enforcing
The following alternative options are available : permissive and disabled I prefer the service to function under “permissive”.
SELINUX=permissive
Now, reboot your system and the changes should take effect.
