      • 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
