            Bug ID: 342124
           Summary: mysql database error: database cannot be verified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.0.0
          Platform: MacPorts Packages
                OS: OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kathrin at scherlebeck.com

Hi, 
I just installed digikam on the weekend but couldn't get the mysql database to
work, on start-up I get an error saying:

"The database it not valid: the "DBVersion" setting does not exist. The current
database schema version cannot be verified. Try to start with an empty
database."

Well, it is empty though, I just created it. Here are my steps:

- mysql runs on Windows 7 server
- I installed digikam with macports on MacOSX (10.9.5)
- for the mysql databases I used the following commands:

(my user is "digikam", database is also called "digikam")
CREATE DATABASE digikam;
GRANT ALL ON digikam.* TO digikam WITH GRANT OPTION;
USE digikam;
GRANT ALL ON digikam TO digikam WITH GRANT OPTION;
GRANT CREATE ON digikam TO digikam WITH GRANT OPTION; 
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
... and the same for the database "thumbs"

Settings within digikam are ok, since the network test is working.
(user, port, passwort, ip everything correct)

Can anyone help me? Digikam is just about my last resort, we have a private
network at home while using both windows machines and a mac with our server
which stores our media files. I have been desperately searching for a picture
archiving solution that supports network databases as well as windows / mac
clients. so if there is no solution to my problem, maybe someone can point me
to an alternative.

thank you!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
see above:
1. use the mentioned steps to create the databases
2. enter the information in digikam
3. hit enter ;-)

Actual Results:  
see above: message on startup: "The database it not valid: the "DBVersion"
setting does not exist. The current database schema version cannot be verified.
Try to start with an empty database."
after confirming the message on startup and re-entering the preferences and
confirming the dialogue with ok, no message pops up.

Expected Results:  
I would have expected that the databases could be used :)

mysql on windows 7
digikam on osx with macports
