They should work together as long as you have the latest PG RPMs (which it seems you do) and a reasonably recent selinux-policy-targeted. One problem is that selinux-policy-targeted updates don't necessarily propagate to the security labels of the individual files. I think what you need to do here is sudo /sbin/restorecon -R /var/lib/pgsql to ensure that /var/lib/pgsql and all its contents are correctly labeled per your current installed selinux policy. The reason for thinking this is that your error message suggests that /var/lib/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION is labeled root:object_r:var_lib_t, which I think is the generic default for files under /var/lib, while in my (working;-)) install it's labeled postgresql_db_t: $ sudo ls -Z /var/lib/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION -rw------- postgres postgres root:object_r:postgresql_db_t /var/lib/pgsql/data/PG_VERSION There's some history and info about variant problems at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=143208 regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
