Hi David,
What do these commands show?
ls -lF /var/log/mysqld.log
ls -lZ /var/log/mysqld.log
getenforce
Best regards,

As the original note pointed out, /var/log/mysqld.log does not exist,
as shown by these two commands:
[root@goat ~]# ls -1F /var/log/mysqld.log
ls: cannot access /var/log/mysqld.log: No such file or directory
[root@goat ~]# ls -1Z /var/log/mysqld.log
ls: cannot access /var/log/mysqld.log: No such file or directory
[root@goat ~]#
HOWEVER, /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log does exist and is empty
[root@goat ~]# ls -l /var/log/mariadb/*
-rw-r----- 1 mysql mysql 0 Sep 23 10:08 /var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
David
PS: I forgot to say that SELinux is disabled:
[root@goat ~]# getenforce
Disabled
[root@goat ~]#
