| |
Hi Andrew et al,
I'm just wondering if it's possible to install the PDO Driver for MySQL DB?
http://au3.php.net/pdo
My shared IP address is: 85.13.238.130
(not sure which server this is)
Thanks again for the great support and prompt services.
Regards,
Tim |

Hi,
I'll look into this for you after the servers have had their kernels upgraded (due to happen shortly).
Thanks,

Has this got anything to do with MySQL being down?

Hi Andrew,
Thanks again for your help and quick response. However it seems like the PDO driver for MySQL has note yet been installed.
According to phpinfo():
PDO support enabled
PDO drivers sqlite2, sqlite
I am on:
System Linux jupiter.solardns.com 2.6.9-55.7.ELsmp #1 SMP Wed Jun 6 17:13:38 EDT 2007 i686
Thank you!

Tim,
I can't get this to work, the mysql driver is not loading without error when added as an extension. This could be due to the version of PHP 5 we are using but I can't find any concrete help on the internet regarding this either.
Sorry,

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for getting back to me again.
In regards to the error you get when installing the MySQL PDO driver, may I ask you what errors you are getting so may be I can lend a hand (and indirectly back to me
I found this attached to the comments from the PHP documentation. See if this can be of any help.
| Quote: | If your having problems re-compiling PHP with PDO as shared module try this.
--enable-pdo=shared
--with-pdo-mysql=shared,/usr/local/mysql
--with-sqlite=shared
--with-pdo-sqlite=shared
1. If PDO is built as a shared modules, all PDO drivers must also be
built as shared modules.
2. If ext/pdo_sqlite is built as a shared module, ext/sqlite must also
be built as a shared module.
3. In the extensions entries, if ext/pdo_sqlite is built as a shared
module, php.ini must specify pdo_sqlite first, followed by sqlite. |
I really would like to get this working because using this then the application will be able to use transactions and commit with the InnoDB engine of MySQL.
Good luck!
Thanks again.
Tim |

Tim,
Although possible to compile into PHP this way I'd prefer to use pear/pecl to get it working. The error is:
| Code: | | pdo_mysql.so: undefined symbol: php_pdo_declare_long_constant |
We run PHP as a CGI module I'm not sure if this affects PDO in any way.
Thanks,

Hi Andrew,
I read that when it comes to making the PDO MySQL driver to work, the order which the extensions are loaded can matter.
Also there is a bug report which has quite a bit of feedback on using pear/pecl to install:
http://pecl.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=6117
Looks like it's not a straightforward solution. Hope you will look into it again please.

Tim,
I will take a look, this bug report does look quite old though!

I've tried a few things mentioned in there but it's still not playing ball. I tried an upgrade to the latest PHP 5 to see if that helped but that caused so many problems in general that I had to revert before I could attempt the PDO stuff.
Sorry,

Thanks very much for your attempt anyway. I hope when PHP6 is out, this would not be a hassle anymore.
I have been having trouble access jupiter server as all my domains do not seem to be resolving.
jupiter.solardns.com is down too (from my end anyway)

Tim,
I have taken a look but can't find any issues with Jupiter? I can access sites via it and I can verify the domain is resolving via third parties.
Not sure what the problem is but it does seem local?
