Step #01: First check selinux service using this command.

[[email protected] #] sestatus

Output like below

SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /sys/fs/selinux
SELinux root directory:         /etc/selinux
Loaded policy name:             targeted
Current mode:                   enforcing
Mode from config file:          enforcing
Policy MLS status:              enabled
Policy deny_unknown status:     allowed
Max kernel policy version:      31

you can disable temporary using below command.

Step #02: To permanently disable SELinux from your CentOS 7 server

Open this file /etc/selinux/config then replace enforcing to disabled

[[email protected] #]  vi /etc/selinux/config

You see like below

# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#       disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=enforcing
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
#       targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
#       mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

So change this SELINUX=disabled  then save file for Esc :wq press Enter.

Now reboot your server then check status using below command.

[[email protected] #] sestatus

Output like below this

SELinux status:                 disabled

I think properly disable selinux from your centos 7 server.
