[digiKam-users] error start of internal server

 The problem is that digiKam deleted the MySQL log file. By the way,
Akonadi has the same problem. We already fixed deleting MySQL log file for
digiKam-7.7.0. MariaDB will not start without an old log file, it is used
to analyze errors. For me it's a MariaDB bug, MariaDB should start without
log file. What to do if the log files have already been deleted?
- Import log files from a backup.
- Try to use log files from a new database.
- Start with a new database and use digiKam-7.7.0.
