Hi everyone, Just a follow-up here for the community:
I had a syntax error in my MariaDB mysql.cnf file, which is found in /etc/mysql/conf.d directory. After changing "[mysql]" to "[mysqld]" ( https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/DBMS_auto_increment_fix), ensuring that the init file pathway was correct, and then restarting mysql, I was able to get into the sql shell using $koha-mysql [instancename]. Thanks again, Tomas.
