Hi,
Does anyone know how to configure mysql to work with selinux? I am trying
to start the server but it fails.
kernel: audit(1165435380.294:368): avc: denied { search } for pid=24423
comm="mysqld" name="/" dev=cciss/c0d0p1 ino=2

tcontext=system_u:object_r:httpd_sys_content_t tclass=dir
Dec 6 14:03:30 host1 mysqld: Starting MySQL: failed
Any ideas?
Thank you.

This looks like some kind of labeling problem. mysqld should not be
search / which is labeled httpd_sys_content_t.
ls -lZd /
If you need to relabel you should
touch /.autorelabel; reboot
The only thing you should need to do to get apache and mysql working
together is turn on the
httpd_can_network_connect_db boolean.
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db=1
