Magento

I am trying to install Magento on my computer locally - and everything is going just fine, except I’ve run into a wall now because I don’t have 2 PHP extensions loaded.  Here’s what it says:

PHP Extension “pdo_mysql” must be loaded
PHP Extension “mcrypt” must be loaded

I have searched all over the place to find some answer on how to get this to work - and I’ve tried a number of them - but nothing is working.  Help would be much appreciated!

I’m having this same issue, I can’t seem to get the pdo_mysql extension to install on my local Mac.  I haven’t tried the mcrypt extension yet....  Did you ever get this issue resolved?  Can you share the solution?

Guys, grab a copy of MAMP, it’s so much easier than trying to fix the default installs that come with OSX

Can some one provide step by step to install pdo_mysql on Mac?

@ Prattski:
Your pdo_mysql extension isn’t loaded yet.

To fix it, open up your php.ini and uncomment the following lines:
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
extension=php_mcrypt.dll

Save it and restart your apache.

Dude!  He’s running MAC OS X 10.5, they don’t do .dll’s!

MAC guys,

I think you’ll find the PHP distro from Mark Liyanage to be the best out there.  It doesn’t require an entirely new Apache, PHP, MySQL install on your server.  I ran this set up for months as Magento was moving toward 1.0

You can find it here:

He calls it a beta because he hasn’t written a .dmg installer yet, but the directions are spot on and complete.  Just take your time and follow them.  You’ll be done tonight.

Cheers
