THis is the mariadb.log file:
Im not really understanding this error, because the sock file has not been created and my server hasn't succesfully started...
141013 14:37:28 [ERROR] Can't start server : Bind on unix socket: Permission denied

I installed it fresh several times and I can't seem to figure out what the error is in the logs. I am running everything as root. Thanks.
