# semanage fcontext -a -t mysqld_db_t "/path/to/my/custom/datadir(/.*)?"
# restorecon -Rv /path/to/my/custom/datadir
Set the log directory context:

# restorecon -Rv /path/to/my/custom/logdir
Set error log file context:
The default location for RedHat RPMs is /var/log/mysqld.log, the SELinux context used is mysqld_log_t.
