Hello i use xampp as webserver and i have updated the version of django to 5.1.3. after that update when i launch the runserver i get back the error that the version of maridb cannot be 10.4 but 10.5
I have made several attempts to update the mariadb version but to no avail. Any advice
Please be more specific and complete about exactly what you have done to upgrade MariaDB. Also be more specific and detailed about what your server is.
I downloaded the zipped file of mariaDB (mariadb-10.5.27-winx64.zipper) went to the bin folder and copied the MySql.exe and MySqld.exe files and ran the upgrade but it returns error
The instructions for installing MariaDB don’t describe that as the process at all.
See Installing MariaDB MSI Packages on Windows - MariaDB Knowledge Base
Thanks for the link I seem to have tried it before and if I remember correctly it installs MariaDB but does not update the instance in XAMPP
If XAMPP doesn’t provide a facility for upgrading the instance of MariaDB that it installs, then either don’t use it or go back to a version of Django that can work with it.
Installing a package like MariaDB in Windows is not just an issue of copying some files, there are also registry changes that need to be made. Trying to do this manually is a recipe for disaster.
In the end that’s what I did and it works
