Hi @alexbelgium
thanks for all the addons you have created. I thought I give this webtrees a try using the mariaDB addon

from the log, it seems to be all good

but im getting this error, when trying to access it.

If i use the sqlite, i can access it without issue.
Any ideas?

Hi, you should look at the logs in mariadb addon, and perhaps create the database there through the addon options

kwetiaw · February 16, 2023, 12:45am

thanks, will give that a try

Hi, have you created the database in mariadb?

N1rv9 · July 13, 2023, 2:19pm

I tried both options but this error was with mariadb
