Newbie install problem at step_02 on Red Hat 5.5

(Andy Barnett) #1

Hi Guys,


I've been tasked with "playing with" MySourceMatrix as we are looking for a replacement for our clanky old CMS.



So… I've built a Red Hat 5.5 server for the purpose (30 Day trial) and things seemed to be going well till I ran step 2 of the installation process - which results in the following: -


    [root@redhat-test mysource_matrix]# php install/step_02.php /home/websites/mysource_matrix
      Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in /home/websites/mysource_matrix/core/lib/DAL/DAL.inc on line 1276


Apache/PHP appear to be working ok, phpinfo is reporting Apache/2.2.3 (Red Hat) and PHP version 5.1.6. PostgreSQL appears to be running OK - I'm at a loss as to where to go from here...

Could some kind soul point me in the right direction please?

Thanks

Hi Andy,

The error is saying you dont have the PHP Data Objects db abstraction layer installed.
On Red Hat this is installed with something like:

    yum install php-pdo


Hope this gets you a bit further with the install.

Hi Steve,


Sorry for the delay in getting back - been playing print servers…



Thanks for the tip - I seem to be moving foreward again!
