What should I do now to put the correct contexts on mysql. the contents of mysql (ls -lZ) -rw-rw---- mysql mysql system_u:object_r:var_lib_t ibdata1 -rw-rw---- mysql mysql system_u:object_r:var_lib_t ib_logfile0 -rw-rw---- mysql mysql system_u:object_r:var_lib_t ib_logfile1 drwx--x--x mysql root system_u:object_r:var_lib_t mysql srwxrwxrwx mysql mysql user_u:object_r:var_lib_t mysql.sock drwxr-xr-x mysql root system_u:object_r:var_lib_t test -rw-rw---- mysql mysql user_u:object_r:var_lib_t work.delhi.net.pid Thanks & Regards Ankush Grover
