SUMMARY

I'd like to connect to a mariadb server that I have on the local machine. The socket is not able to be specified and is wrong. 

My socket is in /tmp/mysql.sock. digikam is trying to use a socket in /opt/digikam.org.x86_64/...


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install digikam
2. attempt to connect to the database
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT

Wrong socket path as per screen grab. I'm trying to connect via port 3306

EXPECTED RESULT

Connection successful

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2022-01-01 20:46:46 UTC

When using an external MySQL database, digiKam does not set any socket options. So this must be a problem with your MariaDB installation.
But you can enter the following in the connections options:

UNIX_SOCKET=/tmp/mysql.sock

I could connect by using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.
