Hi Guys,
Sorry to keep emailing the group but im determined to crack selinux and not just switch it off :)
I have moved my mysql root to /db01/mysql and have sym linked /var/lib/mysql to there as well just in case any apps still have mysql hard coded to the original location.
The alert im getting is this:
Summary:
SELinux is preventing /bin/bash "read" access on /var/lib/mysql.
Detailed Description:
SELinux denied access requested by mysqld_safe. It is not expected that this access is required by mysqld_safe and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.
Allowing Access:
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

All the contexts look correct to me, but have i missed something? would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance :)
