Magento

Please can anyone advise regarding an issue that has just come up on our recently installed Magento system. Today we were adding new text and doing Meta tags and all of a sudden we saved some text and now all that comes up on every single link on the site (including the admin page) is this:

pdo_mysql extension is not installed

Any help would be greatly appreciated and apologies if this seems like a simple problem as we are new to the Magento system.

Thanks,

The first line in your error message suggest that you don’t have the necessary php extension (pdo_mysql) installed. Magento needs this to run and I am bit surprised how you got to install it in the first place.

I suggest getting in touch with your hosting provided and see if pdo_mysql can be (re-)enabled.

good luck
