Centos – Auto-start MariaDB using systemd after it has crashed

Thank you, dawud, you pushed me in the right direction. What I had to do here is make radiusd.service start AFTER mariadb.service.

I fired up vim at /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/radiusd.service and added a line in [Unit] section:

After=mariadb.service

So it looks like this:

[Unit]
Description=FreeRADIUS high performance RADIUS server.
After=syslog.target network.target
After=mariadb.service

After rebooting, FreeRADIUS started just fine.

Also this resource helped me a little bit.

Should anyone stumble across this, i found the solution here: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/43459/how-to-start-mysql-mysql-isnt-starting/

To start MariaDB on Fedora 20, execute the following command:

systemctl start mariadb.service

To autostart MariaDB on Fedora 20, execute the following command:

systemctl enable mariadb.service

After you started MariaDB (do this only once), execute the following command:

/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
