Disabling SELinux

Disable SELinux (ONLY RedHat, CentOS, and Fedora)

SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux), an access control implementation, causes IBM Aspera Faspex installation to fail with an error. Use the following command in a Terminal window to open the daemon and disable it:

$ system-config-securitylevel

If you cannot disable SELinux via the method above, then you must edit the following config file (with super user permissions):

/etc/selinux/config

Within this file, locate the following line:

SELINUX=enforcing

Change the setting's value to disabled, as shown below.

SELINUX=disabled
Important: You must restart the X-Server or reboot the system after modifying the SELinux config file. Otherwise, changes to SELinux will not be completed.
