            Bug ID: 379959
           Summary: Could not start database initializer
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.5.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Database
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]
  Target Milestone: ---

Hi,

I always get the error message below when trying to configure digikam 5.5 on
Ubuntu 16.10, 17.04, Linux Mint ...

"An error occurred during the internal server start.
Details: Could not start database initializer.
Executable: mysql_install_db
Arguments: --datadir=/home/beda/Pictures/.mysql.digikam/db_data,
--defaults-file=/home/beda/.local/share/digikam/mysql.conf
Process error: Unknown error"


I suspect that this might be because digikam tries to initialize using the
executable mysql_install_db which is depreciated in mysql5.7
"$mysql_install_db
2017-05-17 23:28:57 [WARNING] mysql_install_db is deprecated. Please consider
switching to mysqld --initialize
2017-05-17 23:28:57 [ERROR]   The data directory needs to be specified."

Windows.

Can you check if problem still exists with this version ?

Thanks in advance

A similar problem occurs in version 5.6.
Digikam can not connect to the existing database. In order to use the program I
had to create a new user and configure from scratch digikam.
So far I've lost 4 years of work. (Labels, albumens, people, etc. I've lost
everything !!)

***
En la versión 5.6 sucede un problema similar.
Digikam no puede conectarse con la base de datos existente. Para poder utilizar
el programa tuve que crear un nuevo usuario y configurar desde cero digikam.
Hasta ahora he perdido 4 años de trabajo. (etiquetas, albumens, personas, etc.
lo he perdido todo!!)
