This sorted the initial problem, thank you - but now Statping is returning 'error connecting to database: Error 1298: Unknown or incorrect time zone: 'UTC''. I added a timezone variable to MariaDB but still returned the same issue
EDIT - Just seen @TuskenUnRaider post above, this resolved the issue
I can't seem to get past the setup stage. Using MariaDB and getting
error connecting to database: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:3306: connect: connection refused
Not too sure what I'm doing wrongly, is there a step by step guide anywhere?
