Further updates: I got this far, and the MariaDB user and database are actually created. However, the script seems to get stuck, when it comes to creating the ERPNext admin user. Also, the MySQL user and database creations are incredibly slow.
bench new-site --db-name new.site.db --mariadb-root-username root --mariadb-root-password root.password --admin-password erpnext.admin.password --verbose new.site
Created user new.site.db
Created database new.site.db
Granted privileges to user new.site.db and database new.site.db
Starting database import...
Imported from database /usr/local/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/frappe/frappe/data/Framework.sql
This remains to be strange. No log entries, nothing. Any thoughts?
Thanks a million,
Chris
