    Question Deleted SELINUX by accident....HELP!

    Recently I ordered a dedicated Linux server with Cent OS 5.2 freshly installed. Whilst trying to disable SELINUX I accidentally deleted it, doh!

    In SSH/Putty, when I run the command:

    Code:
    vi /etc/selinux/congig
    I get the message:

    Code:
    "/etc/selinux/config/" New Directory

    Can this be fixed quickly/easily? Or does Cent OS need to be re-installed?

    Is SELINUX (disabled) still needed on the server to install/run cPanel?

    Your help much appreciated!

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    You should be able to reinstall most of the components using the yum package manager. Login or su to root and execute the command
    Code:
    yum reinstall '*selinux*'
    If you don't want strict policy enforcement, then do this also:
    Code:
    yum remove selinux-policy-strict
    Then you can enable selinux from the Administration -> Security Level and Firewall form. There is also the System -> SELinux Troubleshooter GUI application that can help you figure out what's not working right.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
