I have tried version 2.4, version 2.5.1 and I still cannot connect to mysql. I have tried every which way, including updating/upgrading mariadb, purge install, re-install, and it just won't work. I have tried all the suggestions I could find online regarding mysql 8.0, but most of them didn't work even directly on the database. Currently installed is CQRlog 2.5.1
Running Linux Xubuntu 20.04. Here is the error log. HELP! It always comes up the same on this computer. I have CQRlog running well under this version of Linux on my laptop.

Hi Charles !
Yes! Hair is problem. I lost most of it during work years with Micro$oft servers and clients being a local IT support. ;-)
First question is do you have previously existing database (created with mysql) ? Then it might be that your current MariaDB can not access it directly.

Hi,
according to error message, you have mysql installed. Please unistall it, install mariadb-server, libmariadbclient-dev, libmariadbclient-dev-compat and it should work.
