SUMMARY

I am trying to migrate my current SQLLite to MySQL Internal Server. I selected that option, and it told me to install MariaDB. Which I did. It then told me to find the two files (mysqlinstall.exe and mysqld.exe) which I did and got the two checkmarks. Then I clicked "Migrtate -->" and I got the error "internal server is not used and is not active".

I read through https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/using-setup.html and it doesn't say any specific steps that I should have done otherwise. Nor can I find that error anywhere else on the forum

Any help?

The internal MySQL server is a special case. Iit cannot be set up in the migration tool because it must already be running. DigiKam can only manage one internal server.

1. You go to digiKam setup and set up the internal MySQL server, specify the folder, etc.
2. You will be asked for a collection, enter an empty folder.
3. If everything works, you will now see an empty digiKam view.
4. Start the migration tool, enter your folder with the SQLite DB, select the internal server on the right. Everything should work now. Restart digiKam, everything should be there as with SQLite.
