Magento

My first problem was with the PDO/MySQL—I could not get it to recognize or install. Then I happened upon a post by someone who said to comment out those lines in the install config file and xml doc and just use mysqli… which I tried.

It let me into the installer, but upon entering all my mysql connection information I was presented with the following error:

<code>

Does anyone know how to fix this? I would happily install PDO if I knew where/how? I tried ‘pecl install PDO PDO_MYSQL’ but got errors.

Any suggestions?

Anyone have any ideas about this?

which version of magento do you have installed?
which distribution of linux you have?

I have tried removing all the files and download the latest version (0.6.13160) and have changed the configuration files to use mysqli only (I do not have pdo_mysql and it’s not easily configured because I’m on a cPanel server and would have to go around cpanel to compile Apache manually)

Below is the output I get:

My server is running RHEL (or the white box version of it, CentOS I think), PHP Version 5.2.4

Below is my configure:
‘./configure’ ‘--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs’ ‘--prefix=/usr/local’ ‘--with-xml’ ‘--enable-bcmath’ ‘--enable-calendar’ ‘--with-curl’ ‘--enable-ftp’ ‘--with-gd’ ‘--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local’ ‘--with-png-dir=/usr’ ‘--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6’ ‘--with-gettext’ ‘--enable-mbstring’ ‘--enable-mbstr-enc-trans’ ‘--enable-mbregex’ ‘--with-mcrypt’ ‘--enable-magic-quotes’ ‘--with-mysqli’ ‘--with-mysql=/usr’ ‘--with-openssl’ ‘--enable-discard-path’ ‘--with-pear’ ‘--enable-sockets’ ‘--enable-track-vars’ ‘--with-ttf’ ‘--with-freetype-dir=/usr’ ‘--enable-gd-native-ttf’ ‘--with-zlib’

MySQL Version 4.1.22-standard

I have all of the requirements sans pdo_mysql for which I did the workaround. What’s wrong?

Did you try solution from here:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/1126/#t5568

It didn’t work, but I got our server admin to compile PHP by hand to install pdo_mysql. I tried to just upload those files and it didnt work, however when I completely deleted the installation, unzipped all fresh files and uploaded them I was able to make i tthrough the installation successfully (yay!)

I then saw errors in the shopping cart and some other sections. I saw in another post that changing mysqli to pdo_mysql in the config.xml file worked, so I tried it and voila! I’m running Magento!

Same worked for me.  I recompiled PHP with PDO MySQL, set the proper php5.ini file and I was still receiving the error.

Then in config.xml I changed my <connection> settings to this and it works now:

<connection>
<types>
<pdo_mysql>
<class>Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Type_Db_Pdo_Mysql</class>
</pdo_mysql>
<mysqli>
<class>Mage_Core_Model_Resource_Type_Db_Pdo_Mysql</class>
</mysqli>
</types>
</connection>
