disable SELinux for some daemons from runlevel 3

piforever · 02-13-2006, 12:33 PM

How can I do that??

If I wanted to disable the whole thing I will edit "/etc/selinux/config" and set

Code:

SELINUX=disabled

but what I want is for instance disable SELinux for httpd at runlevel 3!

thnx in advance,

First let me ask why do you want to do that? If you are having problems with SELinux, I'd recommend fixing them rather than disabling it.

I did have some troubles in the past with SELinux....and I just want to know how to do that since google always leads me to the same answer which is how to disable from gnome for instance....what I want is to control it from runlevel 3....even if this practice is not advisable I would like to know how....can you help me???

thnx

*EDIT*
This is an example

You should be able to disable the selinux httpd targeted policy using:

setsebool -P httpd_disable_trans 1

Then restart the httpd daemon.

I'd still recommend you specifically fix the actual problem you are having with the httpd policy rather than shutting selinux enforcement off for httpd.

If you are having problems with CGI scripts, you may just need to enable CGI scripting under httpd using:

setsebool -P httpd_enable_cgi 1

If you are still having problems them post the error messages.
