Well, in the meantime I have a running database, thanks to all the help I get here.
But I'm not quite out of trouble yet.
The last problem with starting /usr/local/mariadb-10.6.10-linux-systemd-x86_64/bin/mariadbd was solved by chmod 777 /var/run/mysql; this was needed because I start mariadb as a plain user for the moment. chmod on /var/log/msql gave me logging > Once again I'm at a loss here - what causes mysqld not to start?
Any further help dearly appreciated....
either "in the meantime I have a running database" or "what causes mysqld not to start" are possible and when it comes to "chmod on /var/log/msql gave me logging" show them for the sake of god open "/usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.service" and remove or comment out the "ExecStartPre" until your problems are solved "ExecStartPre=/usr/libexec/mysql/mysql-systemd-helper upgrade (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)" is some distribution sepcific nonsense in the real world it's enoug to ExecStart mysqld as user:ggroup mysql and skip all that nonsense including mysql_safe
