Same as me!

I spend more than 5 hours, do random things to make this work but it didn't
I want to make this work on Centos 7. For now I have to fallback to Centos 6 because of this

this works fine did that multiple times, make sure mysql is down when you do this things and check the logs if you have some errors!

service mysqld stop
cd /var/lib
mv mysql YOUR_NEW_LOCATION_PATH
ln -s YOUR_NEW_LOCATION_PATH mysql
chown -R mysql:mysql YOUR_NEW_LOCATION_PATH
service mysqld start

I have tried but I get errors saying to check my password in the config files.
The password is the same one it generated on install.
This is on a fresh install as well.
Is there something I am missing?

service mysqld stop
cd /var/lib
mv mysql YOUR_NEW_LOCATION_PATH
ln -s YOUR_NEW_LOCATION_PATH mysql
chown -R mysql:mysql YOUR_NEW_LOCATION_PATH
service mysqld start
