Hi,

I am not sure where you are in your testing but this might be useful:
When playing around with SELinux then the first thing to give you an
idea if SELinux might be an issue would be to go:
"sudo setenforce 0"
Try to do what didn't work before.
"sudo setenforce 1"

This will give you an idea if your installation would work without SELinux.

If this is the case then you could use "sudo audit2allow -a" to find
the issue for your installation.

Hope this helps,
