Simple Invoices - PDO problem
  • nicedesnicedes April 2012

    I'm hoping to install Simple Invoices on my webserver. When I try to run the installer (ie. when I access the Simple Invoice directory on the server) I receive this error:-


    ===========================================
    Simple Invoices - PDO problem
    ===========================================

    PDO is not configured in your PHP installation.
    This means that Simple Invoices can't be used.

    To fix this please installed the pdo_mysql php extension.
    If you are using a webhost please email them and get them to
    install PDO for PHP with the MySQL extension

    ===========================================


    I've looked into this a little and have the following problem. When I look for the PDO_MYSQL extension I find:-

    1. http://pecl.php.net/package/PDO_MYSQL
    This package is not maintained anymore and has been superseded.
    Package has moved to channel http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/ext/pdo_mysql/

    2. Then I read that the pdo_mysql php extension has been integrated with the PHP core, which suggests that it can't be added to an installation?

    My server runs PHP version 5.2.17.

    Any suggestions??

    Thanks

    I have contacted my server provider, to see if they can activate PDO. It is currently turned off by their custom config.
