And how to fix it and turn SELinux back on? What went wrong? You might want to start by getting a bound on _when_ it went wrong. When was the last time you successfully started httpd? The problem happened sometime after that. Look in your logs for any suspicious events. Check /var/log/yum.log. Any new packages? Did a yum transaction fail (postinstall might be tinkering with SElinux)? Try "yum-complete-transaction". Any configuration changes since then? > Starting httpd: Syntax error on line X of /etc/httpd/conf.d/php.conf: > Cannot load /etc/httpd/modules/libphp5.so into server: libxml2.so.2: > failed to map segment from shared object: Permission denied Might want to try "restorecon -rv /etc/httpd" as well.
