1. First, see if SELinux is installed and enabled. Type the sestatus command.  If enabled, you will see output similar to this:SELinux status: enabled

   Code Block
   SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: enforcing Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 24 Policy from config file: targeted

2. To very quickly check whether SELinux is causing the connection error, you can temporarily switch its mode from "enforcing" to "permissive" (do this as root):

   Code Block
   setenforce Permissive

   Now test the Islandora module's connection to Fedora again. If that fixes the problem, you can then make a more permanent adjustment to SELinux to allow the connection to the Fedora server.

3. You could completely disable SELinux, by changing its configuration in /etc/selinux/config but it's not necessary (and most often not recommended!).  The specific SELinux policy that is blocking access is likely httpd_can_network_connect.  First, change the mode back to "Enforcing", then switch on the policy http_can_network_connect.  Again, as root:

   Code Block
   setenforce Enforcing setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on

   Test the Islandora module's connection to Fedora once more.  If it works, you have adjusted the SELinux configuration to permit the needed connection without disabling it entirely.
