Digikam-users Digest, Vol 224, Issue 30

[Maik Qualmann]

If you used digiKam a long time ago, you has set up an external MySQL server 
database for digiKam. If this server still exists, you just need to adjust the 
parameters, network address, username, password. If the server no longer 
exists, the best thing to do is to start with a new digiKam configuration. To 
do this you have to delete the “digikamrc” configuration file.
You can find them at:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\
