The directory that MariaDB expects to use as its working directory either does not exist, has been moved, or is incorrectly specified in the server's configuration.
Misconfigured Startup Path
MariaDB's configuration parameters, such as `datadir` or `basedir`, point to an inaccessible, non-existent, or incorrect path for its operational directories.
