What's your database settings exactly ? Can you share the [Database Settings] section from your digikamrc file available in your user directory ? See the online doc for details :

Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2025-05-24 06:15:03 UTC
In addition to the configuration file, create a DebugView log from the start of digiKam, as described here for Windows:
