Hey all, I'm having some trouble getting PHP5 w/ CentOS 5 to connect to a remote MySQL server using the standard mysql_connect() call.
Yes, MySQL libraries are installed along with php-mysql...
The only way I can get it to work is to run setenforce Permissive, otherwise the connection fails.
The annoying thing is that nothing at all shows up in my /var/log/messages file describing why SELinux is stopping this connection.
If I run my script with the CLI php binary, it connects to the remote server fine, just not when executed via httpd.
I tried running the following on my PHP script:
chcon -u system_u -t httpd_sys_content_t test.php
But still I cannot complete a connection until I put SELinux back in Permissive mode.
Any tips? Why isn't SELinux sending a message to the logs (it does for other SElinux issues just fine)?
TIA, Ray
