<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">I'm running a fresh install
(Neon ISO from 10 October, 2022) of KDE Neon. I have a fully
working installation of MariaDB-server(v10.3.34) running on
localhost. I am using Digikam 7.8.0 and it is working very
well with the sqlitedb. I'm attempting to migrate Digikam
from the sqlite to mysql (mariadb).</p>

<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">I've followed the
directions from <a

class="_3t5uN8xUmg0TOwRCOGQEcU" rel="noopener nofollow

<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">I've confirmed that
MariaDB is installed and running on localhost:3306.</p>
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">I've created a database
named "digikam" and assigned a user "admin" with full
privileges and confirmed that the "digikam" DB exists
and is accessible using the mysql terminal, and external
apps (DB Browser and DBeaver).</p>
</li>
<li class="_3gqTEjt4x9UIIpWiro7YXz">
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">In Digikam, the
database "Requirements" section indicates that all the
mysql requirements are met.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">When I setup the MySql
database connection in Digikam using the correct parameters,
and then try "Test Connection", I get a popup window that
tells me:</p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM"><code
class="_34q3PgLsx9zIU5BiSOjFoM">Database connection was
not successful. Error was: Driver not loaded Driver not
loaded</code></p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">What Drivers?? This happens
when attempting to test the connection in either the
database migration OR the digikam database setup. I've
searched the web and reddit quite a bit over the past few
days and I see nothing that suggests a solution.</p>
<p class="_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM">Any ideas?</p>
