I think I broke SELinux

Hello,

I had to edit an SELinux domain to enable read/execute permissions for a directory for apache. After I did that it caused all hell to break loose and now I can't even log in without being in rescue mode.

Can someone tell me how I can reset everything to the way it was, I didn't have any back ups...

Thanks,

Blanny

maybe try disabling selinux like this: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinu...html#id2825880

Q: How do I turn SELinux off at boot?

A: Add selinux=0 to your kernel command line.

Be very careful using this option. If you boot with selinux=0, any files you create while SELinux is disabled will not have SELinux context information. At the least you may need to relabel the file system, and it's possible you will be unable to boot with selinux=1, requiring a boot to single-user mode for recovery.

As an alternative to selinux=0, try using SELINUX=disabled in /etc/selinux/config.
