How to disable Selinux
SELinux usually causes more problems than advantages. To disable this security extension on a Linux system, you can edit/etc/selinux/config and set SELINUX=disabled
vim /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=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted – Targeted processes are protected,
# mls – Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Afterwards we must reboot the system:
- shutdown -r now
