Postfix won't run while selinux in enforcing mode
- by Dina Abu-khader
I enabled selinux forcing mode on Fedora 15 , and I was able to get apache, mysql and memcached to work fine , but I couldn't get postfix to run .
I got the following errors :
systemd[1]: Unit postfix.service entered failed state.

systemd[1]: PID 15517 read from file /var/spool/postfix/pid/master.pid does not exist. Your service or init script might be broken.
systemd[1]: postfix.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1
following steps were done :
I reinstall postfix
Created .autorelable and reboot
restorecon -R -v /etc/postfix restorecon -R -v /var/lib/postfix
Can someone tell me what am doing wrong ?
Update
It turns out that we have to disable the ipv6 in the main.cf and these errors were disappear.
THank you
