Hi Earl,
I think I found your problem, you do not have the correct package
installed
[root@c7-db1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep maria mariadb-libs-5.5.41-2.el7_0.x86_64 mariadb-server-5.5.41-2.el7_0.x86_64 mariadb-5.5.41-2.el7_0.x86_64 [root@c7-db1 ~]#
Install the mariadb-x package and you should be able to start the service
Thanks. While I could go with mariadb 5, the goal I had in mind was mariadb 10. They're pretty different and 10 is more advanced. Push comes to shove, however I could go with 5.
And to Hal.. yeah you can use service mariadb start (assuming everything you need is there). But systemctl is the preferred method under CentOS 7.
[root@nfsdb1 ~]# service mariadb start Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start mariadb.service Failed to issue method call: Unit mariadb.service failed to load: No such file or directory.
I guess I'll wait to see if anyone has any ideas on getting MariaDB 10 working. I've already googled this to no avail. If nothing turns up on the list or if I can't find anything, I'll just go with MariaDB 5.
Thanks, Tim

Did a little Googling [0] and I saw that they recommend starting it as follows:
/etc/init.d/mysql start
