unable to setup MySQL internal

[Harro Roders]

Hello,
 
I am new to Digikam and I am trying to setup MySQL internal on my macbook pro M4 Sequioa 15.5. I dit get it to work on SQlite and it works very nice but my database is large around 200000 pictures so I want to change to MySQL internal.
Last thing I tried Is return to set up with a empty folder for collections and a new folder for de Database files. Digikam does find the required files as I see a V in front of the files but it returns with the following warning:
 
An error occurred during the internal server start.
 
Details: Could not start database initializer.
 
Executable: /Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/Contents/lib/mariadb/
bin/mariadb-install-db
 
Arguments: --defaults-file=/Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/ Contents/Resources/digikam/database/mysql-global.conf, --basedir=/ Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/Contents/1ib/mariadb/, --datadir=/
Users/ludoroders/Documents/DigiKam_belangrijk_niet wissen/
DigikamDBinternal/.mysql.digikam/db_data
 
Process error: Unknown error
 
Please check the database settings in this dialog.
 
Hoop someone can help.
 
regards
Harry
