Description

I (Neil) plan to use SELinux on my servers, so I will fix the bug. SELinux is pretty cool, the only thing I don't like about it is that it reminds me of windoze.

Typical problems with SELinux is unblessed files, e.g., libraries need to be blessed as libraries:

chcon -t lib_t lib.so

and html/php files need to be blessed as web files
chcon -t httpd_sys_content_t *.html

To see the existing context of a file type:
ls -Z

I think I fixed the disable SELinux problem. I tested it on the testing notebook computer with SELinux : Enable and the installation script run finished without any problem.
But need to test it more detail.

Thanks.
Eric

Sorry to confuse. The spirit of this bug was to not properly disable SELinux during installation, but rather keep SELinux enabled and just install all the software properly so it work with SELinux enabled. Because I like SELinux and want to keep it enabled on my systems.

I clarified the title and assigned to myself.
