How to check whether SELINUX is disabled?
Problem
Before installing SecureTransport you have to check whether the Linux Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is disabled. On Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux SELINUX is enabled by default and will cause the installation/upgrade to fail.
Resolution
To check the status of the SELINUX execute the command below:
sestatus
When it is disabled the result should looks like:
SELinux status: disabled
When the SELINUX is enabled the output of the command would be:
SELinux status: enabled
To disable SELINUX, you would have to edit the /etc/sysconfig/selinux
file. For example:
vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux
Set the parameter SELINUX
to disabled
:
SELINUX=disabled
Save the file and reboot the server.
