Created attachment 122734 [details] Error message and operating system used SUMMARY When I go to open the DigiKam application I get an error message: "Error while opening the database. DigiKam will try to automatically reconnect to the database". When I exit out of the message, DigiKam looks like it's loading to open up but it never actually opens. I'm using macOS High Sierra 10.13.6. I downloaded DigiKam with the option"Download file from preferred mirror" on the Mac download page. Advice I've found online is hard to follow for me... I'm just using this software to tag images for a university course. Please help STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Download Digikam 6.2 Mac package 2. Operating system: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please start digiKam in the terminal as described here: https://www.digikam.org/contribute/ Command: /opt/digikam/Applications/KF5/digikam.app/Contents/MacOS/digikam Post the messages displayed in the terminal. Maik
Could the problem be solved? Without further information, whether a SQLite or MySQL database is used or an output of the debug messages from the terminal we can not help. Maik
Have the same issue after the following situation. 1) Changed network topology, so my database is not reachable anymore on the existing location. (MySQL) 2) Digikam detects this. When proceding without database hangs. I'll attach the logs.

You could edit the "digikamrc" manually and enter the correct hostname again. We may need to enable the MySQL configuration dialog at the start if the connection fails. Maik
