Well, after some more searching, it appears that turning off or making permissive SELinux fixed the issue.
I disabled SELinux by editing /etc/selinux/config and changing the entry:
SELINUX=enforcing
to
SELINUX=disabled
It worked before this changing the environment with:
setenforce 0
This changed SELinux to permissive.
However, I went ahead and disabled it and made it persistent by also editing file (above).
