As you found, SELinux was not at fault,
echo 0 > /selinux/enforce
Is immediate, it will put the machine into permissive mode. setenforce 0, is
a better command to do this.
On reboot SELinux would be back to the original state. If you want to alter
the default state of SELinux, you do this through /etc/selinux/config.
