`systemctl start ovenmediaengine` failed

Check SELinux

If SELinux is running on your system, SELinux can deny the execution of OvenMediaEngine.

You can choose between two methods of adding a policy to SELinux or setting SELinux to permissive mode. To add a policy, you must apply the SELinux policy file for the OvenMediaEngine service to your system as follows:

$ cd <OvenMediaEngine Git Clone Root Path>
$ sudo semodule -i misc/ovenmediaengine.pp
$ sudo touch /.autorelabel
# If you add a policy to SELinux, you must reboot the system.
$ sudo reboot

Setting SELinux to permissive mode is as simple as follows. But we don't recommend this method.

$ sudo setenforce 0
