Folks
I'm having problems installing Mariadb in Centos 7.
Here's what I did:
0) Become root 1) Make sure that mariadb and mysql are NOT installed. 2) Delete residual libs rm -rf /var/lib/mysq* 3) yum install -y mariadb-server installed mariadb-5.5.50-1.el7_2.x86_64 from the Centos 'updates' repository 4) systemctl start mariadb 5) systemctl status mariadb
All works well until step 5, where I get the result:
# systemctl status mariadb ? mariadb.service - MariaDB database server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2016-09-22 17:46:38 PDT; 4min 3s ago Main PID: 16261 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full. [root@goat ~]#
My environment is a Centos 7 installation running as a VM inside Vmware, and is not a production system. It is updated nightly.
When I examined the files alluded to,
/var/log/mysqld.log does not exist but /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log exists and is empty.
Adivce would be appreciated
Thanks
David
Is your /etc/my.cnf left over from before, is there anything about the location of the log file?

Hi David,
What do these commands show?
ls -lF /var/log/mysqld.log ls -lZ /var/log/mysqld.log getenforce
Best regards,

Simply saying 'sudo restorecon -R /var/log’ may fix it by resetting SELinux file permissions to their intended defaults.
That won’t help if you have explicit SELinux labels applied to that one log file, though. The ls -lZ output (from after the restorecon command) would be necessary to understand the complaint from mysqld_safe in that case.

Charles As the original note pointed out, /var/log/mysqld.log does not exist, as shown by these two commands:
[root@goat ~]# ls -1F /var/log/mysqld.log ls: cannot access /var/log/mysqld.log: No such file or directory [root@goat ~]# ls -1Z /var/log/mysqld.log ls: cannot access /var/log/mysqld.log: No such file or directory [root@goat ~]#
HOWEVER, /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log does exist and is empty [root@goat ~]# ls -l /var/log/mariadb/* -rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 0 Sep 23 10:08 /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
