Well, strictly speaking this is not what it is designed for... it's
really to protect a *local* system against network daemon exploits - it
prevents (for example) mysqld from reading/writing files that itisn;t
supposed to, or (probably) from binding to non-standard ports or
exec-ing scripts with the wrong file context...

Do you have an X server running?
try
system-config-securitylevel
or
togglesebool mysqld_disable_trans

to debug the actual reason for the denials:
did you disable SELinux on server or client?
what were the errors in /var/log/audit/audit.log that mysqld generated?
