Comments - problem while starting mariadb server?

I see errors in the log file like:
[ERROR] mysqld: Can't find file: './mysql/plugin.frm' (errno: 13)
and similar. It seems the data directory is damaged somehow.
This may happen when you try to use data files from another system or the upgrading process got wrong.
However, you wrote that you had installed Fedora 19 together with the mariadb packages, so I understood you hadn't done any data upgrade and you had installed it from scratch, right?
Then you should be able to delete the data directory content using: rm -rf /var/lib/mysql/* and it should be initialized from scratch during the next start.
