I just recently had to do this so I thought I might as well share. There are a few threads already with some info, but it's not entirely complete in my opinion.
Let's get started.
1) First off, issue this command to check your pear/pecl config:
Code:
pecl config-show
This will show you your config. Now if your /tmp is mounted noexec, skip the following and jump to step 2) now.
My /tmp is mounted noexec and instead of messing with it, I just changed the config to a local writable directory.
Your config-show should have:
Code:
Code:
PEAR Installer cache directory cache_dir /tmp/pear/cache PEAR Installer download download_dir /tmp/pear/cache PEAR Installer temp directory temp_dir /tmp/pear/temp
Take note of the /tmp paths.
Type and execute:
Code:
Code:
pear config-set cache_dir /root/tmp/pear/cache pear config-set download_dir /root/tmp/pear/cache pear config-set temp_dir /root/tmp/pear/temp
Feel free to change the path to your own liking.
2) Now we will install pdo and pdo_mysql extensions.
Type and execute:
Code:
Code:
pecl install pdo pecl install pdo_mysql
Now check your extensions directory to make sure they were installed. For my purposes they were in /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613.
You should see pdo.so and pdo_mysql.so there.
3) Next you will need to re-compile PHP5. Before doing so, edit the configure file and add the following:
Code:
Code:
--enable-pdo=shared \ --with-pdo-mysql=shared \ --with-sqlite=shared \ --with-pdo-sqlite=shared \
Next recompile PHP with your method of choice.
4) Last step is to edit your /usr/local/lib/php.ini file.
Change your extension_dir to:
Code:
Code:
extension_dir = /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613
or
Code:
extension_dir = /usr/local/lib
Change this path if yours is different.
Scroll down and add the following extensions:
Code:
Code:
extension=pdo.so extension=pdo_mysql.so
Exit and save your php.ini.
5) Restart httpd and open up a phpinfo.php file. You should now see pdo/pdo_mysql entries.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A) If you are receiving the following warning/error:
Code:
Code:
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Invalid library (maybe not a PHP library) 'pdo_mysql.so' in Unknown on line 0
Try restarting mysqld first.
Great host, have tried many they're certainly a top choice for me. Premium bandwidth, great prices, 100% stable, and great support.
Outstanding Customer Service Everytime I have emailed AYKsolutions I have gotten an outstanding response time from the technical support team. Not only that, they are very friendly and very easy to work with. When I initially setup my account I had a small problem and had to delete everything and start over. This was not a problem for AYK and they were able to get me up and running in no time at all
We're Happy with our 1 Gigabit Server AYK Solutions! AYK Solutions provides all our back-end server infrastructure for our video streaming sites which burn up about 200 GB of data every day. I have had nothing less then 1 MB/second downloads from all the servers that I have had from them. Their technical support saved me several times, and their tech support is 24/7 and responsive. I currently have a Quad Xeon on a 1 gigE port for WAY LESS then any other dedicated server provider
