CentOS - Nov 2015 - SOT: MariaDB 5.5.x-MariaDB logs are not going to desired .log file

Hi there, I know this is off-topic or semi off-topic but I really need some
help since I am stucked.

I'm trying to redirect MariaDB logs to `/var/log/mysql/*.log` files as
shown below on the `/etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf` file:

    #
    # These groups are read by MariaDB server.
    # Use it for options that only the server (but not clients) should see
    #
    # See the examples of server my.cnf files in /usr/share/mysql/
    #

    # this is read by the standalone daemon and embedded servers
    [server]

    # this is only for the mysqld standalone daemon
    [mysqld]
    #wait_timeout=28800
    #interactive_timeout = 28800
    max_allowed_packet=512M

    #General Query Log
    general_log_file        = /var/log/mysql/mysql_query.log
    general_log             = 1

    #Error Log
    log_error               = /var/log/mysql/mysql_error.log

    #Slow Query Log
    slow_query_log          = 1
    slow_query_log_file     = /var/log/mysql/mysql_slow.log
    long_query_time         = 2
    log-queries-not-using-indexes

    collation-server = utf8_general_ci
    init-connect='SET NAMES utf8'
    character-set-server = utf8

    # this is only for embedded server
    [embedded]

    # This group is only read by MariaDB servers, not by MySQL.
    # If you use the same .cnf file for MySQL and MariaDB,
    # you can put MariaDB-only options here
    [mariadb]

    # This group is only read by MariaDB-10.0 servers.
    # If you use the same .cnf file for MariaDB of different versions,
    # use this group for options that older servers don't understand
    [mariadb-5.5]

`mysql_query.log`, `mysql_error.log` and `mysql_slow.log` should go to
`/var/log/mysql/`, right? For some reason, unknow to me, they are not
going. I did run the following query:

    MariaDB [(none)]> show variables like '%log%';

And this is the output:

I have tried putting same config at `[mariadb]` and `[mariadb-5.5]` and
result is the same.

Why changes are not working? I have restarted MariaDB (mysql) service
several times and even I have restarted the whole server. Seems like
MariaDB is not reading those values, any advice?

<http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/98732/how-to-enable-queries-logs-in-mariadb>

did search online - maybe you need to change mysql log location that might
override mariadb conf file.
