Well, what am I supposed to do? The socket (or what it was) needs to be
put somewhere, and IIRC, it wasn´t my choice to put it there but is a
default. With mariadb, there are some defaults you can´t reasonably
change because other software expects files where they usually are. And
I don´t want to change that, I just want mariadb and lighttpd and other
things to start on reboots rather than being broken because someone
decided that files/directories they require are to be deleted on reboots
before they can start.

IIRC, lighttpd won´t start unless you mess with where it puts its pid
file. I think I had to resort to put it into /tmp or something like
that because the place where it´s supposed to put it gets deleted on
reboots.
I´ve never before had issues like this.
