Scott,

SELinux has already been set to permissive mode due to coldfusion conflicts.

Here is the error I am getting:

HTTP Status 403 – Forbidden
------------------------------

*Type* Status Report

*Description* The server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
------------------------------
Apache Tomcat/9.0.50

Thanks
Pez
