Drupal doesn't recognise GD, PDO extensions. Error installing.

Posted by klavss on November 14, 2012 at 4:26pm

I'm trying to install a Drupal 7 on Apache 2.2.14 (Ubuntu) but failing. Installation ends up with 2 errors:

Drupal requires to enable GD and PDO extensions Web server does not appear to support PDO
At the same time GD and PDO are enabled on server as reported by phpinfo() and hosting provider

I'm new here and to all this and will appreciate any directions. Thanks.

Do you remember to restart Apache

If you isntall on local machine with Ubunto do you restart Apache after enabling this extensions.
It could be done with following command from terminal:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

And if you're dealing with hosing provider it's best to contact them and they will track the problem better.
