One way to disable SELinux is to add the option "selinux=0" to your "kernel /vmlinuz-..." line in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file.  This would allow you to set up different modes of booting your system.

Are you really sure that you want to disable SELinux?  If you are running a web server that is exposed to the Internet, I would think that you would want the protection that it offers.

I run a web server and MySQL on my home network and run SELinux at the same time.  It was a matter of setting SELinux boolean variables that directly affect Apache and setting the SELinux Context for the files and directories that Apache can access.

Try "man httpd_selinux" for details of SELinux setting that apply to Apache.

I did not have any problems with MySQL and SELinux so I am not sure what SELinux setting affect MySQL.
