Running on Fedora 25 with SELinux in PERMISSIVE mode. The audit log
shows no hits on Postgresql.
Postgresql version number is 9.6.2
As expected, the postgresql log shows nothing since the last start up.
Meant to add to previous post:
What happens if you try to connect to the database using psql?
Works just as I would expect.
In fact, I was able to load the one of the databases from the pg_dump
backup using pg_restore without any problems either, and I checked the
results by running some in-stream transactions in psql. Everything went
fine at that point, until I tried to start Apache and couldn't connect.
To be precise PHP could not connect, correct?
My going in position was/still is, that this is a SELinux security problem
but I am finding SELinux to be the most opaque and badly documented software
that I have ever had to deal with, which is why it is running in permissive
mode at the moment.
Well what I know about SELinux would fit in the navel of a flea(tip of
the hat to David Niven), so I can not be of much help there. The reason
I am returned this thread to the list, there are folks that do
understand it.

John
Thanks in advance.
