Couldn't locate driver named mysql‏

[Robertcs]

Hi all,

I'm following jobbet example. I'm now in day 3 and I'm trying to create database model. ORM generates correctly database model, insert's model and class model.

But when I try to run doctrine:insert-sql, I receive following message: "Couldn't locate driver named mysql‏".

Some info about my configuration:

- Server:
- is virtualized through VirtualBox, running an ubuntu server.
- LAMPP is running on the server and serving correctly (up to now) jobbet example
- Mysql is running correctly and jobeet database has been created

- Client
- My own PC
- It can ping correctly the server
- It has symfony client correctly installed (I'm developing in my own PC).
- I checked php.ini configuration file. It contains all mysql's lines uncommented (so, using mysql)

Any hint?

Thanks in advance

Check if you have pdo_mysql enabled.

Must I check php.ini on my local copy?

Depends where you're getting the error. If the server is on your PC, then it will be on there; if the server is on your virtual machine, it's in there.

Reading your post again, I think you're running the server on the virtual machine. On that basis, the php.ini can be edited there.

On that basis, what is a "symfony client"?

You can also check in your phpinfo() output if pdo_mysql is enabled.

Hi all,


Thanks for your responses!

What I mean is that the server is virtualized, but i'm generating all sentences in command line in my PC (I'm following the philosophy of developing in local and deploying in a server: I suppose that this way of doing should be correct).

For as far as I know, my pc has it's own php (in fact, all sentences of the kind "php symfony bla-bla-bla" are working fine, as I followed the tutorial), and my server also has it's own php (LAMPP installation).

regards!

Right, so to summarise, you're executing your commands on your PC, and running the web server on your VM. You'll need MySQL configured on both in that case: for your CLI in the first case, and for your web server in the second.

I would suggest that you simplify this, if the above synopsis is correct; have the web server on your PC as well, and worry about deployment later. AFAICT your VM is unnecessary, though there are some use cases where they are a good idea (such as developing a site on Windows that will only run on *nix servers).

I had the same problem. It's happened after a format, just install php-dev and php-mysql.
Hope this helps

i have the same probleme :

Code: Select all

  Couldn't locate driver named mysql

C:\wamp\www\DEV\ARYS_1.0>

pdo & pdo_mysql is correctly enabled... please help.

thank you!

How have you determined that PDO and pdo_mysql are enabled?

Running phpinfo() in a brower may not do this on your system. Try "php -i" at the command line, which will let you know how your PHP CLI is configured. The php.ini to which this pertains is also output with this command.
