When installing a fresh HEAD from CVS, you get a fatal error because it attempts to initialize a database engine that doesn't exist (CVS). This is because it sees the CVS folder, and assumes it's a database engine.

xmacinfoCVS update forces an install, too, giving out the same errors as a fresh install.

Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commentedYeah, that one's my fault. The patch in #3 fixes it, but is not super approachable. The attached patch is identical except for the addition of some comments. No other changes. Dries, please just credit Rob.

chx CreditAttribution: chx commentedThis is incorrect. I am surprised noone asked "huh? max on an array of strings? what that could mean?"

manual says:so as soon as someone adds a db2 or firebird directory in there, you will end up with a driver called "includes". This is easy to avoid...

RobLoachThere we go! Thanks a lot, chx! You're my hero..... I knew max looked weird....
Comment #12
keith.smith CreditAttribution: keith.smith commentedOddly, I still had trouble, with the error that a text blob could not have a default value.
To get my Drupal 7 to install tonight, I had to use the following patch (which may have an entire host of consequences I don't understand, so use at your own risk).
Edit: Oh--and I don't really want to remove the RTBC on the earlier patch, though it did not work for me.
Comment #13
Heine CreditAttribution: Heine commented@keith.smith; your problem "a default on a text field" is distinct from the "wrong db driver selection during install". Can you please open a new issue?

keith.smith CreditAttribution: keith.smith commentedMy apologies for derailing the issue. I created another issue at http://drupal.org/node/299292.

catchFreso - do you definitely have PDO compiled into your PHP install? I've opened a new issue here for adding PDO to system requirements #299308: Installing Drupal by visiting index.php (rather than install.php) leads to a fatal error when PDO is not enabled. This error will only show up with a CVS checkout, not wit 7.x-dev tarball.

RobLoachBoth patches, #10 and #12, are good to go. Although, #12 is somewhat unrelated to this issue.
Comment #19
chx CreditAttribution: chx commented#10 must go in.
Comment #20
Freso CreditAttribution: Freso commented#17: I can very much verify that I do not have PDO compiled in (I didn't know that was a requirement now either). Sorry for wasting everybody's time. :$
/me makes a mental note to add "pdo" to PHP's USE-flags when he gets home from work...

RobLoachIf you're getting any errors with Drupal HEAD, open up a new issue and post in what warnings/errors your getting. This fix went in.
