Migrating to MySQL Internal fails

[Thomas]

Hi,

How can I migrate digikam SQLite db to MySQL internal db?
When trying to use the migrate function in settings, it says: "Error while
opening the target database."
In the terminal it says:
digikam.dbengine: ConnectOptions
"UNIX_SOCKET=/home/tdn/.local/share/digikam/db_misc/mysql.socket" ---
digikam.dbengine: Error while opening the database. Error was
QSqlError("2002",
"QMYSQL: Unable to connect", "Can't connect to local MySQL server through
socket '/home/tdn/.local/share/digikam/db_misc/mysql.socket' (2)")


How do I fix this? Do I need a local MySQL server installed?
I thought this was embedded in Digikam, right?





Med venlig hilsen/Kind regards
Thomas
