个人之前总结过两篇文章“MySQL更改数据库数据存储目录”和“Ubuntu上更改MySQL数据库数据存储目录”，都是在工作中遇到相关案例后的一个简单总结。当初的经验不足，认知有限，所以现在来看来，当初的博文确实显得浅析和不够全面，这个也没有办法，当时有些环境或案例没有涉及过，所以文章很难面面俱到，略显单薄和浅显，这个也很正常。博客不是论文，只是个人的笔记和知识点的总结。而且是基于当时的认知的经验总结和知识概括。前阵子将监控工具DPA的数据库切换为MySQL时，又遇到了这个问题，遂总结一下。
系统环境 ： CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)
MySQL版本 ： 8.0.18 MySQL Community Server - GPL
默认情况下，MySQL的数据目录一般位于/var/lib/mysql下
1：首先，弄清楚MySQL的相关配置信息
找到MySQL的数据目录，以及配置文件my.cnf、错误日志的位置。
mysql> show variables like 'datadir%';+---------------+-----------------+| Variable_name | Value |+---------------+-----------------+| datadir | /var/lib/mysql/ |+---------------+-----------------+1 row in set (0.03 sec)mysql> show variables like 'log_error';+---------------+---------------------+| Variable_name | Value |+---------------+---------------------+| log_error | /var/log/mysqld.log |+---------------+---------------------+1 row in set (0.01 sec)
mysql>
[root@KerryDB ~]# whereis my.cnf
my: /etc/my.cnf
2：对数据库做一个冷备份，以备不时之需。当然，你以可以用其它方式备份。
[root@KerryDB ~]# service mysqld stopRedirecting to /bin/systemctl stop mysqld.service
[root@KerryDB ~]# cp -rp /var/lib/mysql /tmp/coldbackup
3：移动数据目录到其它目录
这里假设，我需要将数据库的数据目录迁移到/mysql_data/下。
[root@KerryDB ~]# chown -R mysql:mysql /mysql_data/
[root@KerryDB ~]# cd /var/lib[root@KerryDB lib]# mv mysql /mysql_data/
注意：这里建议使用mv移动数据库目录，而是不是复制（cp命令），因为执行复制时，SELinux上下文将丢失，并且您稍后必须手动进行设置，如果你使用cp命令复制文件，如果没有使用参数-p，那么要记得修改目录的属主，否则你有可能遇到“MySQL error: 1017 Can’t find file: (errno: 13)”这样的错误。
mv 与cp的区别
4：修改配置文件my.cnf
一般情况下，只需修改datadir和socket等参数，具体根据你实际情况来判断那些参数需要修改。
#datadir=/var/lib/mysql#socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
datadir=/mysql_data/mysqlsocket=/mysql_data/mysql/mysql.sock
修改过后，对于CentOS或RHEL操作系统而言，你可能需要修改SELinux的设置，而对于Ubuntu或Debian，你需要修改AppArmor的设置（这篇Ubuntu上更改MySQL数据库数据存储目已经有介绍了，这里就不重复了）。当如，对于CentOS或RHEL，如果你禁用了SELinux的话，那么就可以直接忽略这个设置，因为禁用SELinux的话，就会避免很多杂七杂八的问题，但是我们不是要回避问题，而是要弄清楚问题产生的根本原因。
首先你要检查，是否开启了SELinux。如下所示：
[root@KerryDB ~]# /usr/sbin/sestatusSELinux status: enabledSELinuxfs mount: /sys/fs/selinuxSELinux root directory: /etc/selinuxLoaded policy name: targetedCurrent mode: enforcingMode from config file: enforcingPolicy MLS status: enabledPolicy deny_unknown status: allowedMax kernel policy version: 31
[root@KerryDB ~]# getenforceEnforcing
如果SELinux是开启状态，那么此时如果不做一些配置，那么启动MySQL服务，就会遇到类似下面这样的错误：
[root@KerryDB ~]# systemctl status mysqld.service● mysqld.service - MySQL Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2020-03-09 15:43:06 +08; 2min 54s ago Docs: man:mysqld(8) http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/using-systemd.html Process: 14903 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/mysqld $MYSQLD_OPTS (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 14879 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/mysqld_pre_systemd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 14903 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Status: "Server startup in progress" Error: 13 (Permission denied)

上面日志看不到细节错误信息，此时，应该检查错误日志/var/log/mysqld.log， 如下所示，你会看到“OS errno 13 - Permission denied”和“Can't create test file xxx"类似这样的错误
mysqld: File './binlog.~rec~' not found (OS errno 13 - Permission denied)

注意：默认情况下，日志里面的时间是UTC时间，而不是本地时间。除非你设置过。具体参考我的博客“MySQL5.7参数log_timestamps”。
此时如果，你用chcon命令来在新目录中更改SELinux上下文类型，我看有些博客介绍就OK了。但是在我这个环境中，这样处理过后依然报同样的错误
[root@KerryDB ~]# chcon -R -t mysqld_db_t /mysql_data/
[root@KerryDB ~]#
折腾测试后，发现此时需要在file_contexts里面修改mysqld_db_t，如下所示：
[root@KerryDB ~]# cd /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/
[root@KerryDB files]# ls -lrt
修改前：
/var/lib/mysql(-files|-keyring)?(/.*)? system_u:object_r:mysqld_db_t:s0
修改后：
/mysql_data/mysql(-files|-keyring)?(/.*)? system_u:object_r:mysqld_db_t:s0
其实使用chcon修改对象（文件）的安全上下文，相当难掌握，有点难度，除非你是Linux高手，一般用工具semanage对默认目录的安全上下文查询与修改
一般默认可能没有安装policycoreutils-python，需要安装对应组件
#yum -y install policycoreutils-python
如果你要查看MySQL相关文件的设置，那么可以用semanage fcontext -l | grep -i mysql查看。
root@KerryDB ~]# semanage fcontext -l | grep -i mysql/usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_mysql regular file system_u:object_r:nagios_services_plugin_exec_t:s0 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_mysql_query regular file system_u:object_r:nagios_services_plugin_exec_t:s0 /etc/mysql(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:mysqld_etc_t:s0 /etc/my\.cnf\.d(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:mysqld_etc_t:s0 /var/log/mysql.* regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_log_t:s0 /var/lib/mysql(-files|-keyring)?(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:mysqld_db_t:s0 /var/run/mysqld(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:mysqld_var_run_t:s0 /var/log/mariadb(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:mysqld_log_t:s0 /var/run/mariadb(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:mysqld_var_run_t:s0 /usr/sbin/mysqld(-max)? regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_exec_t:s0 /var/run/mysqld/mysqlmanager.* regular file system_u:object_r:mysqlmanagerd_var_run_t:s0 /usr/lib/systemd/system/mysqld.* regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_unit_file_t:s0 /usr/share/munin/plugins/mysql_.* regular file system_u:object_r:services_munin_plugin_exec_t:s0 /usr/lib/systemd/system/mariadb.* regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_unit_file_t:s0 /etc/my\.cnf regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_etc_t:s0 /root/\.my\.cnf regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_home_t:s0 /usr/sbin/ndbd regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_exec_t:s0 /usr/libexec/mysqld regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/mysqld_safe regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_safe_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/mysql_upgrade regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/mysqlmanager regular file system_u:object_r:mysqlmanagerd_exec_t:s0 /etc/rc\.d/init\.d/mysqld regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_initrc_exec_t:s0 /var/lib/mysql/mysql\.sock socket system_u:object_r:mysqld_var_run_t:s0 /usr/bin/mysqld_safe_helper regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/zabbix_proxy_mysql regular file system_u:object_r:zabbix_exec_t:s0 /etc/rc\.d/init\.d/mysqlmanager regular file system_u:object_r:mysqlmanagerd_initrc_exec_t:s0 /usr/sbin/zabbix_server_mysql regular file system_u:object_r:zabbix_exec_t:s0 /usr/libexec/mysqld_safe-scl-helper regular file system_u:object_r:mysqld_safe_exec_t:s0 /home/[^/]+/\.my\.cnf
[root@KerryDB ~]# semanage fcontext -a -t mysqld_db_t "/mysql_data/mysql(/.*)?"[root@KerryDB ~]# restorecon -Rv /mysql_data/mysqlrestorecon reset /mysql_data/mysql context system_u:object_r:default_t:s0->system_u:object_r:mysqld_db_t:s0
此时启动MySQL实例就正常了，关于semanage修改目录或文件安全上下文的更多信息，参考资料有，可以移步那里去学习。
# service mysqld start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start mysqld.service
此时，你如果用MySQL客户端工具登录数据库，就会遇到"Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'"
[root@KerryDB mysql]# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
解决下面错误的方法：
1：在连接MySQL时，指定参数--socket的值
[root@KerryDB mysql]# mysql -u root -p --socket=/mysql_data/mysql/mysql.sockEnter password: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.Your MySQL connection id is 8Server version: 8.0.18 MySQL Community Server - GPL

mysql>
2：修改配置文件my.cnf，增加客户端参数socket
[client]
socket=/mysql_data/mysql/mysql.sock
注意这个socket参数，跟mysqld下的参数socket是有所区别的。
[client]socket=/mysql_data/mysql/mysql.sock[mysqld]datadir=/mysql_data/mysqlsocket=/mysql_data/mysql/mysql.sock
其实这种方法是最简单，最有效的一个方法。
3：可以通过建立mysql.sock文件的软连接
另外，我尝试通过修改Unix-domain Socket 上下文来解决这个问题，但是没有解决，不知是我理解有误，还是其它方面原因。 下面是部分测试内容：
# semanage fcontext -a -t mysqld_var_run_t "/mysql_data/mysql/mysql\.sock"
# restorecon -Rv /mysql_data/mysql/mysql.sock
# mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
依然报错，检查semanage fcontext -l | grep -i mysql 如下所示， 由于对SELinux的知识了解不够深入，暂时还在学习中。临时先记录一下，留待以后解决。
# semanage fcontext -l | grep -i mysql
