I have am attempting to install CMSMS, I have reached instalation stage 3 and encountered the following problem.


'No valid database drivers appear to be compiled into your PHP install. Please confirm that you have mysql, mysqli, and/or postgres7 support installed, and try again.'

I have mysql and am not sure how to get round this.

Any help appreciated!!!

Regards,

William

Hello,

it seems your PHP setting is wrong about database drivers : you have PHP and MySQL installed, but not the bridge between them, so an additional PHP package (php-mysql ?) is required so that PHP can talk with a database.
This is not CMSms related. If your are using a Linux distrubution that takes care of software dependancies, you can install phpmyadmin (another usefull PHP-MySQL software) and hopefully this will install the missing bridge too.
