Digikam-users Digest, Vol 224, Issue 31

Wed Jan 24 07:02:58 GMT 2024

You have set up a MySQL server without a hostname, username and password. If 
you don't use a MySQL server, then switch to SQLite in the dialog (under Type) 
and see if you have a digiKam4.db file in a directory. If not, click on new 
database in SQLite.
