If you are implementing systemctl to start, stop, and check status of mysqld and getting following error, while starting mysqld service, then check whether SeLinux is disabled or not.

mysqld[44278]: 2018-11-06T01:36:48.303642Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-010187] [Server] Could not open file '/mysql/<db_name>/logs/<db_name>.err' for error logging: Permission denied
mysqld[44278]: 2018-11-06T01:36:48.303785Z 0 [ERROR] [MY-010119] [Server] Aborting

Disable SeLinux:

Check whether SeLinux is enforcing or permissive
# getenforce
Enforcing

Edit file /etc/sysconfig/selinux and set SELINUX=permissive as follows and REBOOT server

# cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#     enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#     permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#     disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
#SELINUX=enforcing
SELINUX=permissive
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of three two values:
#     targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
#     minimum - Modification of targeted policy. Only selected processes are protected.
#     mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

Execute following command to make sure SeLinux is permissive

#getenforce
Permissive
