It's quite obvious you aren't using Centos packages. If you refuse to do as best practices insist (and have for nearly HALF A CENTURY) then no one here can help you. It seems to me that 1) you'd be better off compiling from source for your environment, or 2) that you need to follow practices established (probably) before you were born or 3) that you stop asking the list for thing no

Hi, how can I prevent files/directories like /var/run/mariadb from being deleted on reboot? Lighttpd has the same problem. This breaks services and makes servers non-restartable by anyone else but the administrator who needs to re-create the needed files and directories every time and has to figure out what selinux labels they need. This causes unnecessary downtimes. This is entirely

See [1]: "EPEL packages are usually based on their Fedora counterparts and will never conflict with or replace packages in the base Enterprise Linux distributions." If there wasn?t some sort of conflict, then there wouldn?t be an issue

Which manual?
