I never had SELinux installed on this computer before. I remember 
downloading a host of programs and dropping to a shell, then performing 
the fixfiles relabel, which did restore my computer to a usable SELinux 
state.

What surprised me is that neither installing selinux-policy-targeted or 
selinux-policy-strict pulled in any needed dep for selinux to include 
the fixfiles utility. The below listed are all that ended up being 
installed. I'll have to search the SELinux list archivs for the list of 
programs that contain fixfiles.

selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.31-1
libselinux-1.19.1-3
selinux-policy-strict-1.17.30-2

Running in permissive because of the missing fixfiles and no logs or 
httpd specific corrections.
