Hi, I need some help managing user to start MariaDB.
In my case I make a clean installation and is installed in /var/lib/mysql and the owner of the files and folder is mysql:mysql.
I’ve created another user ‘mariadb’, then I want to change owner of data to mariadb:mariadb. If i change all by ‘chown -R..’ under ../mysql/ path I can’t start the process.
Another thing I need to do is change the path and create a symbolic link from the /var/lib/mysql to the new path. But its not work also with the mysql:mysql owner.
How must be the best practice to do it? Thanks
