Disable SELinux
You can manually edit the SELinux config file in /etc/selinux/config and change the variable SELINUX=enforcing to disabled
vi /etc/selinux/config
... SELINUX=disabled ...
or you can use this little command
sed -i.bak -e 's/^SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config
Enable SELinux
You can enable SELinux manually the same as above but set SELINUX=disabled to SELINUX=enforcing
vi /etc/selinux/config
... SELINUX=enforcing ...
or
sed -i.bak -e 's/^SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=enforcing/g' /etc/selinux/config
