I've got problems with MariaDB not working.
I think you might want to read the "Installation" section on the Wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MySQL#Installation
In particular, I think you forgot to run mysql_install_db.

Hi Paul,
Thank You - the problem is, that some installation details are missing in the German wiki, or just at the wrong place: I've found what I've been missing in the installation as a hint for possible problem solution, not as a necessary install step ...
Kind regards Peter
