Hi all,

I need some advice: I'm trying to install Drupal on a Centos 5.5 / Apache server, but I can't get the GD and PDO Extensions to work. I've tried editing the PHP.ini file to include extension=pdo.so and extension=pdo_mysql.so - and I've restarted the server - but no joy. There's no reference to anything in the .htaccess file...so I'm stumped. Here's the results of the Install Requirements:

OK
 Web server Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635
OK
 PHP 5.2.9
OK
 PHP register globals Disabled
Error
 PHP extensions Disabled
Drupal requires you to enable the PHP extensions in the following list (see the system requirements page for more information):
  • gd
  • pdo
Error
 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.
OK
 PHP memory limit 32M
OK
 File system Writable (public download method)
Warning
 Unicode library Standard PHP
Operations on Unicode strings are emulated on a best-effort basis. Install the PHP mbstring extension for improved Unicode support.
OK
 Settings file The ./sites/default/settings.php file exists.
OK
 Settings file The settings file is writable.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm pretty new to dedicated servers & Centos, and haven't really done much in SSH, so please be gentle :)

Thanks in advance,
Narkus

You need to install below 2 php extension in your centos, please run them in shell with root access:

yum install php53-pdo.x86_64
yum install php53-gd.x86_64

Hi,

In your php.ini file
uncomment:
extension=php_gd2.dll
and
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

Choose the correct php_pdo_*.dll file for the second one.

Regards,
Vincent.

Any suggestions?

I assume you restarted the webserver?

If so, and still not working, check path to extensions directory and ensure that the extension files are there.

Silly me.

No ... don't want to talk about it.
