Trying to install pdo_mysql for Magento but get stuck :-(

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure my fedora core 5 server to use pdo-mysql for the Magento eCommerce application.

I am using Custombuild on a Fedora Core 5 machine.
I have PHP 5.2.5 running with MySQL 5.

Now I need PDO-MYSQL.
What I did was the following:

pecl download pdo
tar xvzf PDO-1.0.3.tgz
cd PDO-1.0.3
./configure
make
make install
cd ..
pecl download pdo_mysql
tar xvzf PDO_MYSQL-1.0.2.tgz
cd PDO_MYSQL-1.0.2
./configure
make
make install
cd ..

This all seemed to have gone ok.

I now have the following:

ls -l /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613

total 368
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 124017 Jan 2 15:19 pdo_mysql.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 238008 Jan 2 14:52 pdo.so

Now my question is: how to configure this in
/usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/configure/ap2/configure.php5 ?

I have tried several settings. The last one I have now is:

#!/bin/sh
./configure \
--with-apxs2 \
--with-curl=/usr/local/lib \
--with-gd \
--enable-gd-native-ttf \
--with-ttf \
--with-gettext \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-kerberos \
--with-openssl \
--with-mcrypt \
--with-mhash \
--with-mysql=/usr \
--with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config \
--with-pear \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-zlib \
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/local/lib \
--enable-zip \
--with-iconv=/usr/local \
--enable-bcmath \
--enable-calendar \
--enable-ftp \
--enable-magic-quotes \
--enable-sockets \
--enable-mbstring \
--enable-pdo \
--with-pdo-mysql=shared

But that doesn't seem to work.

Who can tell me how to setup the configure.php5 in the correct way?

Thanks,
Rene

Sorry for giving this a bump...
Is there anyone who can give me some advice? Thanks!

I would like to know this aswell, Magento eCommerce is soon to become stable and it looks good.

I did it like this

hi!

I have this:
Apache 2.2.6
DirectAdmin 1.31.1
MySQL 5.0.45
PHP 5.2.5

I was also driving myself mad as i'm not really an expert, but after reading in english and spanish here and ther ei got it working, i dont know if its the best way but works:

In your shell:
pecl install pdo

Here you download the extension, but still you have to install the driver for mysql:

Again in your shell:
PHP_PDO_SHARED=1 pecl install pdo_mysql

After this, you'll have edit the php.ini and add these things:

Find this line: ; Directory in which the loadable extusr/lib/php/modules/extensions (modules) reside.
extension_dir = "/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/"
in my case this was the directory (/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/), to make yourself sure you can run the comand: find / -name pdo*.so

Also you will have to add this in the php.ini, I added them before the dll list

extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

After saving my php.ini, i logged in to my da as admin, restarted mysql (stop, start) and restarted http.

And magento went totally fine ...

Good luck!!

Hi Santibm,

That did it! Together with the latest Magento (0.17.14800) it is all up-and-running now!

Thanks!

When ever I try to find that line, it says it is not found.
When I add that in, it still doesn't work.

What should I do?

Hello, I get an error doing pecl install pdo i shell.
make: *** [pdo.lo] Error 1
ERROR: `make' failed
My os is CentOS 5.
