Job for mariadb.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status mariadb.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
and when i try to log in it gives following error
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ‘/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock’ (2 “No such file or directory”)
please help
I seem to have a similar problem. I get the same error when systemctl start mariadb.service.
systemctl status mariadb.service says
“The log file /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log cannot be written, please, fix its permissions.”
What should the permissons be? They are now
-rw-rw—-. 1 root root 5638 sep 28 21:06 /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
It worked fine ! Thanks.
I have CentOS 7. I’m trying to upgrade from MariaDB 5.5 to MariaDB 10.2. I’ve created the MariaDB.repo with the tool and placed it in correct place. When I try to install with sudo yum install MariaDB-server MariaDB-client I get a response that MariaDB-server and MariaDB-client are not available and a suggestion that maybe I mean mariadb-server and mariadb-client. If I use the lowercase names, yum installs 5.5 instead of the 10.2 that I have in the *.repo file. Can you help me?
Hi Minna,
Could you post output of following command:
firewall-cmd –permanent –zone=public –add –port=3306/tcp
This is a little bit wrong. It should be “–add-port=3306/tcp” to be correct.
Thanks for pointing this out, it is actually old syntax and I fixed once all guides, but some reason this one was still wrong.
Super! well detailed steps.
Dang man, why didn’t I find this,.. 20 years or so ago when I was first playing around with Linux and database related things. This is certainly a bookmark worthy site. (especially when you’re loosing your memory slowly)
