Hi,

after upgrading to Drush-HEAD on FreeBSD here, I'm bumping into this

could not find driver                                                                                                           [warning]
Drush was not able to start (bootstrap) the Drupal database.                                                                    [error]

each time I try to do something with Drush. Also, there's

Drush was attempting to connect to :
  Drupal Root       : /path/to/druparoot
  Drupal version    : 6.10
  Site Path         : sites/mysite.com
  Site URI          : http://www.mysite.com
  Database Driver   : mysqli
  Database Hostname : localhost
  Database Username : mysql_user
  Database Name     : drupal_database
  Database Name     : mypassword

Cheers,
Nico

This is related to the new PDO based db credential test we do.


    $type = ($creds['driver'] == 'mysqli') ? 'mysql' : $creds['driver'];
    $constr = sprintf("%s:dbname=%s;host=%s", $type, $creds['name'], $creds['host']);

    try {
      $db = new PDO($constr, $creds['user'], $creds['pass']);
      $db = null;
      return TRUE;
    }
    catch (PDOException $e) {
      // We do not use drush_set_error here , because it's up to the calling function
      // to determine whether or not this is an error or a warning.
      drush_log($e->getMessage(), 'warning');
      return FALSE;
    }

Which version of php are you using, and could you please do a phpinfo(); and check if you have
the mysql driver for PDO.

Moya:hosting adrian$ php -r 'phpinfo();'
---- snip ---
PDO

PDO support => enabled
PDO drivers => sqlite2, sqlite, pgsql, mysql

Keep in mind. Drupal 7 will also not work if you don't have the necessary PDO driver (mysql)

I added in a test for the driver availability. This avoids the test, but this also removes a layer of protection from drupal messing things up.

I have this question too and I think my PDO is enabled (from phpinfo()). My php is 5.2.9 and I just download newest version. Any suggestion for it? thanks.

PDO support enabled
PDO drivers sqlite, pgsql, mysql, sqlite2

Okay, I installed PDO now, phpinfo() says

PDO
PDO support	enabled
PDO drivers 	sqlite, mysql

and

pdo_mysql
PDO Driver for MySQL, client library version	5.0.75

The boostrap error does indeed disappear! :)

The next error I bumped into is

Drush bootstrap phase : _drush_bootstrap_drupal_root()              [bootstrap]

Drush bootstrap phase : _drush_bootstrap_drupal_login()             [bootstrap]
The command 'drush.php pm update' could not be executed.            [error]

:( I'm not challenged for a user password at all, might that be the reason?

there is no command `pm update` anymore. you want `updatecode` or `update`. please run `drush help` to review the list of commands. Names have changed.

Oh gosh, that's right, sorry for the noise.

It would possibly be useful to give some error message about that, like `drush: unrecognized option 'pm update'`, and then the output of `drush help` or something like that.
