I'm trying to install a Galera cluster with 3 mariadb VM's (all of them CentOS 7). I've never done this before, so I was following this guide:
http://tunnelix.com/mariadb-galera-cluster-installation/
The problem is that after I enter my settings on the /etc/my.cnf.d/server.cnf file (step 6 on the guide), I can't start MariaDB:
[root@galera1 ~]# systemctl start mariadb
Job for mariadb.service failed. See 'systemctl status mariadb.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
[root@galera1 ~]# systemctl status -l mariadb
mariadb.service - MariaDB database server

Here's the content of the my.cnf file:
[galera] Mandatory settings wsrep_on=ON wsrep_provider=/usr/lib64/galera/libgalera_smm.so wsrep_cluster_address='gcomm://' wsrep_cluster_name='galera' wsrep_node_address='10.1.40.83' wsrep_node_name='galera1' wsrep_sst_method=rsync binlog_format=row default_storage_engine=InnoDB innodb_autoinc_lock_mode=2 Allow server to accept connections on all interfaces. bind-address=0.0.0.0
I've been searching for a solution about this error and the only thing that I found was a bug (https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-10396), but I confirmed the /usr/bin/galera_recovery script, and it already has that fix.
The weird part is these 2 lines on the logs:
Oct 27 12:23:39 galera1.syone.int sh[3435]: 2016-10-27 12:23:39 140598747605120 [Note] WSREP: Recovered position: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000:-1 Oct 27 12:23:42 galera1.syone.int sh[3435]: WSREP: Failed to recover position: ''
He gets the WSREP position, but it fails to get it...? This doesn't make any sense for me. What am I missing?
Thanks!
