MySQL 8.0 Reference Manual  /  ...  /  Check if SELinux is Enabled

8.7.1 Check if SELinux is Enabled

SELinux is enabled by default on some Linux distributions including Oracle Linux, RHEL, CentOS, and Fedora. Use the sestatus command to determine if SELinux is enabled on your distribution:

Press CTRL+C to copy
$> sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /sys/fs/selinux SELinux root directory: /etc/selinux Loaded policy name: targeted Current mode: enforcing Mode from config file: enforcing Policy MLS status: enabled Policy deny_unknown status: allowed Memory protection checking: actual (secure) Max kernel policy version: 31

If SELinux is disabled or the sestatus command is not found, refer to your distribution's SELinux documentation for guidance before enabling SELinux.
