--- Comment #14 from Felipe <fmonta...@gmail.com> --- The error persists in version 8.7.0. I found the issue. During the initialization phase the mariadb command has an argument with a "//" that is incorrect. The correct argument should be: "--basedir=/Applications/digiKam.org/digikam.app/Contents/lib/mariadb/" and the current code generates two // between Contents and lib. I am not developer but searched through the code, and the issue might be on databaseserver.cpp, look how the argument is generated on lines 522 and 568: mysqldServCmdArgs << QDir::toNativeSeparators(QString::fromLatin1("--basedir=%1/lib/mariadb/"). Looking other codelines, the output of macOSBundlePrefix always finish with "/", and combining both you get the wrong "..Contents//lib/... path. I added an attachment to see the error string, and a screenshot of the search I used to find the potential typo in the code -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
