Php and PDO Extension

[chapsrulez]

Hi.

Im trying to install Drupal on one the following server:
WHM 11.28.64
CENTOS 5.5 x86_64 standard on hadid
PHP Version 5.2.14

But im unable to install it because the drupal installation gives me the following error:
PHP extensions Disabled
Drupal requires you to enable the PHP extensions in the following list (see the system requirements page for more information):
•pdo

Database support Disabled
Your web server does not appear to support PDO (PHP Data Objects). Ask your hosting provider if they support the native PDO extension. See the system requirements page for more information.

So im missing pdo support.

I have tried to install DPO extension via WHM -> Software -> Module Installers -> PHP Extensions but i recive the following error:
Failed to download pear/Structures_DataGrid within preferred state "stable", latest release is version 0.9.1dev1, stability "beta", use "channel://pear.php.net/Structures_DataGrid-0.9.1dev1" to install

pear/Structures_DataGrid_DataSource_PDO requires package "pear/Structures_DataGrid" (version >= 0.8.4)
No valid packages found

So my question is what is the easiest way to install PDO to work with mysql?

Thanks for the replies and info.

Hello,

You need to recompile php to enable the module PDO. You can do it with the help of easy apache from whm or using the cpanel script /scripts/easyapache .

You can also install PDO using source with the help of phpize.
