You are correct on both accounts. I am now informing myself about ‘journalctl’. Writing the logs to the datadir also worked.
Thank you for your help.

Use the "journalctl -u mariadb.service" command to view them. I have no idea what's wrong with the general logs though. Maybe that's some permission issue. Please check that the mysql user can write in /var/log/mysql. You might have success by changing the log path to your datadir, e.g. to /mnt/mysqldbs/mysql.log, since mysqld can always write in its own datadir.

It is installed and working. I would like to set up some logging, but it has not gone as expected. I have binary logging working. However, I can’t generate general logs or error logs. Here is part of the /etc/my.cnf file: user=mysql port = 3306 socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock datadir = /mnt/mysqldbs log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log general_log = 1 log_bin = /mnt/mysqldbs/logs/mysql-bin I assume that after a restart, the logs will be generated, then logged to as events happen. As it is, no log files are generated.
