ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have in excess of 100000 images in my digikam collection and last year I
migrated my database to Maria Server version on Localhost. After the migration
the system has run fine until today. This morning I transferred approximately
1000 photos from my laptop to my main desktop PC. I had been keywording the
photos (using digikam on my laptop).
I transferred them using a USB stick and everything seemed to be OK.
I then ran the maintenance routine for the Album I had been using i.e. 2022
Photos, containing about 2000 images. I ticked the options for scan for new
items, perform database cleaning, rebuild thumbnails and rebuild fingerprints.
As expected the process took a long time but appeared to have finished and
worked, but when, several hours later i came to try and open digikam again it
wouldn't open and I got the message "Error while opening the database. digiKam
will try to automatically reconnect to the database." Then a new pop-up with
this message "Failed to open the database. You cannot use digiKam without a
working database. Please check the database settings in the next dialog."
When I checked the connection in that dialog I got the following message
"Database connection test was not successful.
Error was: Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (10061) QMYSQL: Unable
to connect"
That error message refers to mysql but I can find nothing on the Mariadb
website that covers it. However a Google search resulted in me checking the
Services App in Windows which indicated that Maria was not running and I wasn't
able to start it. Windows error message mentions a code 1 error, but I don't
seem to be able find anything about it that I understand or seems relevant
