If I try to run for first time bench new-site fdpconnect.com then it throws following error

Install MariaDB before trying to create a site, it’ll work as expected.

In my case, the problem was that following the step-by-step tutorial for Mac, when you install MariaDB using brew install mariadb@10.6, it works, but to call MariaDB you have to use mariadb@10.6 instead of mariadb, which isn’t reflected in Frappe’s configuration.

I solved it by installing MariaDB without specifying the version using brew install mariadb, and then everything in Frappe worked correctly. However, you need to delete your project and start again from the bench init.
