Happy Holidays !
I am having trouble with the v1.19.2 installer. It is failing with the error below on a
Windows 2008
server using PHP 5.2.17. PHP is installed, the MySQL extension is uncommented, the path
to PHP is
in the System Path, and the extension dll exists. I'm not sure what else to check,
and I appreciate any
ideas.
In particular, does anyone know what line of code in MediaWiki does the driver checks ?
What file is that
in ? Maybe I could figure out exactly which command is causing it to croak and work from
there.
Here is the error:
Could not find a suitable database driver! You need to install a database driver for PHP.
The following database types are supported: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQLite, IBM DB2.
If you are on shared hosting, ask your hosting provider to install a suitable database
driver. If you compiled PHP yourself, reconfigure it with a database client enabled, for
example using ./configure --with-mysql. If you installed PHP from a Debian or Ubuntu
package, then you also need install the php5-mysql module.
Thank you so much,
Lori
