Installing Error

Post by Crits »

Getting a odd error I have never had before 3.03 when installing.

Code: Select all

Warning: Cannot load module 'SQLite' because required module 'pdo' is not loaded in Unknown on line 0
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /install/index.php on line 440: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions_install.php:24)
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /install/index.php on line 441: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions_install.php:24)
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /install/index.php on line 442: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions_install.php:24)
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /install/index.php on line 443: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions_install.php:24)
I checked the code it looks fine. Anybody have an idea?

stevemaury - in defense of Crits you cannot get phpBB3.0.3 to install on some servers.
YOu cannot get past the Requirements, therefore there is no database or config.php written so it would be impossible to fill out a support template.

I know Hostmonster says they support PDO, but after adding

Code: Select all

extension = pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
to the php.ini I cannot get the script to install on a test forum.
If this is new to phpBB 3.0.3 it really should be added to requirements so people can ask their hosts beforehand about PDO.
This seems to be a new requirement that servers have PDO modules active and it will be then a Hosting problem then.
My suggestion to Crits is to ask his hosting company if they support PDO.

Can you select MySQL without selecting the SQLite option?

Never get that far. It pops up the first time you hit "Proceed to next step".

@ julianqm2 - I don't think simple scripts uses the latest version.

Hostmonster did not have PDO on my server. They did install PDO for me and now PhpBB3 installs without problmes. Just fill out a support ticket explaining the problem of installing Phpbb3 without PDO.

You don't need to have phpBB installed to fill out the details in the template.

9/10 of that template would be N/A:
Your board's URL: not installed yet
Version of phpBB3:attempting 3.0.3
Was this a fresh install or a(n) update/upgrade/conversion (please be specific)? attempting fresh install
If update, what package(s) did you use? Attempting full
Did you use an automated wizard provided by your host to install phpBB? Not yet
MODs you have installed: N/A
When the problem started: First page of installation right after clicking proceed.
Your level of expertise (be honest):5

Additionally, you may wish to provide the following (where applicable)
Template(s) used:N/a...
Language(s) used:N/a
Version of PHP used: 5.2.6
Database and version used: Mysql 5.067

The best thing for people dealing with this is to find out from their hosts if PDO is installed and if they will install it for them. Hostmonster did for me on my server, so I am sure they will on other servers that need it.

I think this needs to be added to Requirement documentations, since it seems that there are hosts out there that do not have this module enabled.
PS: My problem has been resolved...but I just wanted you to show that people trying to install if for the first time might not see the need to use the support template, since they can't even get past the first screen. I was very frustrated at first even though I knew how to get around this problem (install it on a localhost and upload that to my hosting server). So I followed it through to try to find a solution for other people new to phpbb3 that might get frustrated with it.

Excuse me, Ladysarajane, but I asked the OP to fill out the Support Request Template. I will determine what information in it may be applicable to this user's issue, thank you.

Didn't mean to offend you stevemaury . That wasn't my intention. There are several threads like this with people posting the exact same error and problem and a lot of them may not see the need to fill out a support template since they cannot get past the first screen.
And I thought I would help with a suggestion for resolution, since I encountered the same exact error.
