[COLOR=“Gray”]I have asked this question in the PHP forum, but I believe that it’s more appropriate for this section.
I’m installing Magento Commerce on one of the newer php5 shared servers and can’t get past the following error message:
PHP Extension “pdo_mysql” must be loaded
In contacting resellersupport@jodohost, I have been told that mysqli is installed on the server already and that should suffice for Magento. If I can’t get pdo_mysql installed, then I’m willing to try this out first.
I have tried to edit app\etc\config.xml (attached) to use mysqli but I believe it might be more involved than a simple change. The snippet of code I changed was as follows:
mysql4
SET NAMES utf8
pdo_mysql
The site is: http://64.71.235.209/
My options at this point seem to be:
- Try to install on PHP4 with the cgi workaround
- Move to a host with pdo_mysql
- Use VPS so I can install pdo_mysql myself
- Make all the changes necessary to xml files to workaround pdo_mysql req’s
Does anyone else here have any experience getting Magento working on Jodohost’s servers? Or can I just get pdo_mysql installed?
