SELinux is preventing mysqld (mysqld_t) "create" to mysql.sock (var_lib_t). And recommended I run restorecon -v 'mysql.sock', but: [root@coyote rpms]# restorecon -v 'mysql.sock' restorecon: stat error on mysql.sock: No such file or directory So I go back to the top of the list above and repeat, apparently forever cuz I get the same thing when I restart mysqld. Now, since mysql.sock doesn't exist, because it can't create it, therefore restorecon can't do anything about it, WTH do I do next? So I located the old one in the database, touched a new one, then 'chown mysql:mysql mysql.sock;restorecon -v mysql.sock' No errors reported. But, a 'service mysqld start' eventually fails. And now the selinux count is plus 2 cuz I tried it twice. So how do we fix YAMYSQLFSCKUP?
