I migrated a while back and if i remember right I had to:
	1. Create databases using phpMyAdmin (digikam4.db and thumbnails-
digikam.db
	2. Create a digikam user and give proper permissions.
	3. Go into digikam and select digikam settings -->database
		a. Create the necessary information (Hostname, Port, Schema
		   (digikam4.db), thumbnails (thumbnails-digikam.db, User Id
		   and password).

Since version 4.0 came out I have not been able to access the database 
and digikam eventually tells me the application is not responding. 

my digikam version is now: still fails. It does pass the connection 
test, OK. If I drop back to version 3.5.0. everything was working with 
mysql located on localhost.

Don't know if this will help.
