I admit that I don't know what the issue is, but I would suggest the
following:  get root access on the machine (wether you need to disable
SELinux for that or not for a root login, I don't know), touch
/.autorelabel, and reboot.

This will ensure that every file on your system is labeled with the
correct SELinux security context.  It will be easier to move forward
from there with troubleshooting if your environment is in a known
state.
