I need help with SELinux, it will not allow database connections despite being enabled.
I know that SELinux is the issue as turning it off eliminates the connection error I receive: mysqli::real_connect(): (HY000/2002): Permission denied. I also realize the security issues of turning it off.
I have searched as many solutions as possible. They all seem to give the same solution as this thread: How do I allow MySQL connections through SELinux?
Running the commands in this thread I get the following output sestatus:
- SELinux status: enabled
- SELinuxfs mount: /sys/fs/selinux
- SELinux root directory: /etc/selinux
- Loaded policy name: targeted
- Current mode: enforcing
- Mode from config file: enforcing
- Policy MLS status: enabled
- Policy deny_unknown status: allowed
- Memory protection checking: actual (secure)
- Max kernel policy version: 33
getsebool -a | grep httpd:
- httpd_can_network_connect --> on
- httpd_can_network_connect_cobbler --> off
- httpd_can_network_connect_db --> on
My System Setup is as follows:
- CentOS 9 Stream x64
- Apache 2.4.57
- MariaDB 10.11.8
- PHP 8.1.29 (php-fpm)
What am I missing here?
