Use the "journalctl -u mariadb.service" command to view them.
I have no idea what's wrong with the general logs though. Maybe that's
some permission issue. Please check that the mysql user can write in
/var/log/mysql. You might have success by changing the log path to your
datadir, e.g. to /mnt/mysqldbs/mysql.log, since mysqld can always write
in its own datadir.

I have just moved from a MySQL 5.6 server on CentOS 6.8 to a MariaDB
10.1.21 server on CentOS 7. It is installed and working. ____

I would like to set up some logging, but it has not gone as
expected. I have binary logging working. However, I can’t generate
general logs or error logs. Here is part of the /etc/my.cnf file:____
__ __
user=mysql____
port = 3306____
socket = /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock____
datadir = /mnt/mysqldbs____
log_error = /var/log/mysql/error.log____
general_log_file = /var/log/mysql/mysql.log____
general_log = 1____
log_bin = /mnt/mysqldbs/logs/mysql-bin____

I assume that after a restart, the logs will be generated, then
logged to as events happen. As it is, no log files are generated. ____
