SOLUTION:

While installing CentOS 5 linux if you haven’t paid much attention then chances are you probably have missed window where installation program ask to enable/disable SElinux.
SElinux can run as enforcing or in permissive mode. If in /etc/selinux/config file selinux is set as permissive or enforcing then change it to disabled. You would need to reboot your CentOS server to disable selinux. This change wouldn’t work without rebooting your linux box.

[root@localhost bin]# grep SELINUX /etc/selinux/config
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
SELINUX=enforcing
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

You must disable SELINUX.

Correct
[root@localhost bin]# grep SELINUX /etc/selinux/config
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
