In that case, the error means that user mysql doesn’t have write access to /var/log, which is as it should be, since my EL7 box says:
$ ls -ld /var/log
drwxr-xr-x. 21 root root 4096 Sep 18 03:28 /var/log/
You need to configure MariaDB to write its logs to a directory it does have write access to, by default /var/log/mariadb. MariaDB is configured this way here:
[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mariadb/mariadb.log
If your /etc/my.cnf says something else, then the poster up-thread who guessed that you have an old my.cnf file nailed it. Unless you have precious configuration info in it, I’d replace it with /etc/my.cnf.rpmnew if it exists, or just remove it and reinstall the RPM.
(Incidentally, you mistranscribed the commands we gave you. It’s an “l”, not a “1” in ls -lF and ls -lZ, though it doesn’t matter in this case.)
