Craig,

What error are you getting in your logs when you say "does not work"?

Have you confirmed mariadb is up and running? Have you confirmed that you can connect to maraidb without using PHP (from the shell) first?

-edit-

To fix your mbstring issue, install the following package:

rh-php71-php-mbstring

Why are you using a Beta channel for rhscl?

The package is in rhscl (Red Hat Software Collections), link to package information here.
