Installing 3.22.2 on OSX 10.5.7

Squiz Matrix Installation
1

Hello,


thought I’d try install Matrix on a 10.5.7 (not server)



First install MAMP which is

Apache 2.0.59

PHP 5.2.6



Then Installed Postgres from http://www.postgresqlformac.com/

Pgsql 8.4.0



Make sure I’ve got all the Pear modules updated and installed:

Installed packages, channel pear.php.net:

Start up MAMP and Postgres



Created the Matrix user and DB

Set the PLPGSQL



Run step 1

Edited the main.inc and db.inc



Run step 2 and error:


    Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Could not create database connection: DBError!:could not find driver' in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mysource_matrix/core/include/mysource.inc:2637

    #3 {main}

PHP is configured with pdo-pgsql=shared

Any ideas? :rolleyes:

UPDATE:
I've installed drupal on the same box so I know PHP and Postgres are happy together.

I have my website running Matrix on OSX. It is an older, 3.20.4 version, but it should still work the same. I had to compile php with pdo, as well as other things to get it working. Using MAMP did not work for me, nor finding any other .dmg php installs. You might want to try the same, as it is kind of tricky, and took me a long time. :slight_smile:

ok... may not bother then.
