Community Auth Learning...

FYI, this is my testing environment.
I'm using XAMPP with MariaDB it works the same with MySQL, since they ditch MySQL and replaced it with MariaDB.

I restarted XAMPP and turned on apache and MySQL (MariaDB) and visited this link below
http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

and no error show up, meaning MariaDB is working fine.
Currently using InnoDB engine in MariaDB, by the way InnoDB is also called xTraDB in MariaDB.

Perhaps you can try the latest XAMPP to test Community-Auth under it since MySQL is really getting rusty.

Will try to find out at my end as well the culprit.
Just in case you fixed the bug let me know as well.

thanks in advance.

I've been curious about MariaDB, but never worked on a production environment that had it, so never had it on my development environment. I'm running all my development environments on Ubuntu (Linux) as of 13 months ago. I'm sure setting up MariaDB is super easy, so one of these days I'll check it out.

I rarely have issues with MySQL, and you say it is "really getting rusty". What do you mean by that? Is it not well maintained anymore? What do you think are the best benefits of MariaDB?

I guess this is way off topic now. Maybe you can just send me a private message.
