Answer 1

Just had the same problem and here is how I fixed it. I'm running on DSM 6.2.2-24922 Synology diskstation, i installed webstation with Nginx, PHP 5.6, as well as MariaDB 10 (and phpmyadmin).

The fix I found was to first activate the pdo_mysql extension in the php configuration.

Then go in the Core tab and look for the pdo_mysql.default_socket.

Per default i had

/tmp/mysql.sock

in it but I changed it with

/run/mysqldmysql10.sock

I found this in the mariadb10 properties. It misteriously worked for me so i hope it will help somebody else as well :)
