Further to Filipe's advice, if you temporarily switch SELinux into 
permissive mode and stuff then works again, take that as a pretty good 
indication that it was indeed SELinux that was preventing it. At that 
point you know where to look to fix the problem.

The Wiki guide for SELinux has lots of information on troubleshooting 
SELinux issues:
