Issue
Previously I performed the migration of my database from one directory to another within the server itself (/var/lib/mysql to /mnt/mysql) for lack of space.
When starting the server again, after having changed the /etc/my.cnf with the correct directory it returns me this error:
$ systemctl start mysqld
Job for mysqld.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status mysqld.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
And when I run the systemctl status command on the mysqld service it returns me:
$ systemctl status mysqld.service
mysqld.service - MySQL Server

If it is permission error, how do I free the server to accept such a directory?
Note: I am using CentOS 7
Thank you!!
Solution
After searching i discovered that the error was the 'enforcing' permission of SELINUX.
The answer to fix this problem is:
$ sudo setenforce 0
And the server went up normally.
