Selinux DB Connection

For the most part I have everything installed just fine; however in order to keep the postgres DB connection alive I have to keep SeLinux disabled. As soon as I reenable it the connection to postgres is lost and timetrex is "down for maintenance"
How can I reenable SeLinux without loosing DB connection?

What Linux distro/version are you using?

Centos 8 and timetrex community, I just downloaded it a few days ago through the timetrex website so it the most current version, whatever that is. I followed the instructions to temp disable using setenforce 0 but cannot setenforce 1 without losing connection.

We are just in the process of finalizing official instructions for installing TimeTrex on CentOS v8, they should be completed soon.

Thank you. Please let me know when they become available. I’m assuming this has to do with the security context of postgresql but I’m not to familiar with SELinux

I did a little research on the topic. I was able to allow apache access to postgresql by:
setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1
