Mariadb doesn't starts. Control process Exited - mysql

I am trying to start mariadb with systemctl start mariadb also tried using sudo along.
This is what it says
Job for mariadb.service failed because the control process exited with
error code. See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl
-xe" for details.
I saw this at many places but nothing helped.
It fails, I removed, installed again, nothing happened.
This is a part of /var/log/messages

I am really new to CentOS and mariadb, so I don't know how to proceed.
EDIT
The mariadb.log says

I tried adding a line in my.cnf

Didn't help, mariadb.log says the same thing as I have mentioned earlier.

I solved as follows:
After installing
Run: > mysql_install_db --user=mysql --basedir=/usr --datadir=/var/lib/
Then: >mysql_secure_installation
And then: systemctl start mariadb
With this this, I can resolved.

Just remove following files at location
/var/lib/mysql
ib_logfile0
ib_logfile1

fuser -k 3306/tcp will solve the probem.
-k is to Kill processes accessing the file.

Moving MySQL datadir on development machine

Operating System: Ubuntu 18.04
MySQL version: Ver 8.0.19 for Linux on x86_64 (MySQL Community Server - GPL)
My system is set-up so that Ubuntu is running on a 128gb SSD, with a separate 1TB SSD for storage. This system is dual-boot with Windows 10 Pro and Ubuntu 18.04. The storage drive is NTFS formatted.
I would like to move the MySQL datadir over to the storage drive, because my OS drive isn't big enough.
I've been following the tutorial on this URL: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-move-a-mysql-data-directory-to-a-new-location-on-ubuntu-16-04
I've gotten to "Step 4 — Restarting MySQL" in the tutorial. Up to this point, I've followed everything to a T, no missed commas, forward slashes, etc. All done exactly as described (I've checked to make sure this is true numerous times)
When I enter the terminal command
sudo systemctl start mysql
I get the following output
Job for mysql.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mysql.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
Following this output, I enter the following command into the terminal
systemctl status mysql.service
and receive the following output

Seeing that this was a permissions error (which should have been avoided using the -av tags when copying the original directory to the new drive) I entered in the following command to give open permissions to the entire drive.
sudo chmod a+rwx /media/user/storage/
to check the permissions I enter
ls -ls /media/user/storage/mysql_datadir
with output
total 12
12 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12288 Mar 31 02:45 mysql
I've also made sure the full file path to the new datadir is lowercase to avoid conflict between the two file systems.
I still cannot get MySQL to start.
I'd appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.
Edit:
namei -mo /media/user/storage/mysql_datadir
f: /media/user/storage/mysql_datadir
drwxr-xr-x root root /
drwxr-xr-x root root media
drwxr-x--- root root user
drwxrwxrwx root root storage
drwxrwxrwx root root mysql_datadir
Based on your post seems that you are having permission issue along with owner of the "data directory" must always be mysql.
STOP your mysql service if it's running.
Consider below example:
my.cnf looks:
#
# Original path change to avoid space issue on server
#
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
Now you change this datadir in your my.cnf file like:
#
# Original path change to avoid space issue on server
#
#datadir=/var/lib/mysql
datadir=/media/user/storage/mysql_datadir
After this check the permission:
cd /media/user/storage/mysql_datadir
ls -al
output:
drwxr-x--x 40 mysql mysql 4096 Mar 27 00:01 mysql
If this is not output then execute below command:
chmod -Rf 0751 /media/user/storage/mysql_datadir
chown -Rf mysql:mysql /media/user/storage/mysql_datadir
Finally
START your mysql service now.
I had the same problem/solution as Pratik, after following the instructions to define a new datadir in
/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.conf
and
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld
I modified my fstab to mount to
/mnt
instead of
/media/[username]
and mysql start up without any errors. no additional permissions to set other than the mysql directory. My issue was on Ubuntu 18.04 must be something special about the /media mount point

MySql/MariaDB cannot change default datadir on Debian 9.1 server

I have a problem to move the default datadir of Maria DB to another partition, it appears to be very common but i tried everything I can without luck.
Mysql is installed as Mariadb 10.1.26 with the default debian package (apt-get install mysql-server) on a Debian 9.1 (stretch) server, mysqld -v returns mysqld 10.1.26-MariaDB-0+deb9u1
Default_mysql_datadir : /var/lib/mysql
New_mysql_datadir : /home/mysql
/var/lib/mysql is mounted to "/" (/dev/md3)
/home/mysql is mounted to "/home" (/dev/md4)
What I've tried
# systemctl stop mysql
# mv /var/lib/mysql /home
Change datadir in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
# datadir = /home/mysql
Check if the rights/permissions are ok
# chown -R mysql.mysql /home/mysql
apparmor is NOT installed nor running on the system though the /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld file is existing with the following rules :
/home/mysql/ r,
/home/mysql/** rwk,
I even tried to create and empty /var/lib/mysq folder refering to this bug
But when I start I always get the same error :
# systemctl start mysql
[Warning] Can't create test file /home/mysql/<user>.lower-test
#007/usr/sbin/mysqld: Can't change dir to '/home/mysql/' (Errcode: 13 "Permission denied") 2017-09-07 0:16:59 140119808397888 [ERROR] Aborting

Any suggestion ?

Services started by Systemd have additional filesystem restrictions imposed by systemd.
It should be possible to provide values to systemd [Service] directives ProtectHome= and/or ProtectSystem= and/or ReadWritePaths= to resolve this issue.
I have similar problem:
When I start the mysql services a message is shown:
Job for mariadb.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status mariadb.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
if I change the datadir from /etc/mysql/my.cnf again as default; np

Stop mysql service:
sudo service mysql stop
Remove mysql:
sudo apt-get remove mysql
sudo apt-get purge mysql
Then issue a whereis mysql command in terminal and remove all of the locations that command lists using rm -rf command. For example rm -rf /etc/mysql .
Then reinstall the version of mysql you desire. All should work as expected.
Just check if you db has been given the rights to write the logs give it the logs writing rights and this will get resolved .
1)First remove already installed mysql-server using--
sudo apt-get remove --purge mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
2)Then clean all files
sudo apt-get autoremove
3)Then install mysql-server --
sudo apt-get remove -f mysql-server
4)Start mysql server--
sudo systemctl start mysql
5)Check status of mysql-server--
systemctl status mysql

What should I check?
For the first node, you should bootstrap it, instead of just starting it. On CentOS7 you can do so with:
systemctl start mysql#bootstrap.service
Then, you can go ahead and start nodes 02 and 03 normally:
systemctl start mysql

What shoud I do for now?
It seems you moved the datadir to your home directory. I think that when you start mysqld via your service manager (in your case systemd) it will be started as an unprivileged user (most likely mysql). I strongly doubt that this user has privileges to access the homedir of the user elderry.
So the solution would either be moving your datadir to a more suitable location like /var/lib/mysql and chown this directory to the user under which mysql runs. Or that you give the mysql user privileges that he can acces the homedir of elderry.
When installing MariaDB, it creates user and group mysql automatically that own all data files, so if you move data dir, make sure that all folder, subfoler, files in new data directory are owned by user mysql and group mysql.
Also check if your partition is not full, which was my case.
For an unknown reason, moving the data to another partition did not work either.
So for a quick fix, instead of messing with llvm or gparted, I reduced my /swapfile size.
