The directory path "/usr/lib//usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/" looks suspicious to me. I suspect the correct path is /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/

Try this:

ls /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/
ls /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/pdo.so

Do these commands produce error messages or regular output?

1 - Updating pdo_mysql is, as far as I remember, needed on windows but not on linux. But you need to enabled it if not enabled as per phpinfo.

2 - Looking at your log I would suspect some path / include error somewhare (php.ini) since
 '/usr/lib//usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/pdo.so'
seems slightly suspect. If this is the inlude path, I would guess that you added
/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/ to a previous include path of /usr/lib/, but forgot to put a : in between, which would have resulted in an include path of
 '/usr/lib/:/usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20050922/'

hello, I have added the correct path in my php.ini first I checked with ls and I couldnt find the directory then I search for pdo.so and pdo_mysql.so and found out they are located in

/usr/local/lib/ and /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/

I tried to put both of them in my php.ini
extension_dir=/usr/local/lib/ and I have also tried /usr/local/lib/pdo.so and pdo_mysql.sqo but they didnt work, when I tried ti build PHP i got the following message. I have no idea what I am going wrong, please help.


PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './/usr/local/lib/pdo.so' - .//usr/local/lib/pdo.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Try
1 - make a copy of /usr/local/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20060613/pdo_mysql.so into usr/local/lib/

2  -
extension_dir=usr/local/lib/

3 - Additional question: which other changes did you make? it is now saying
 Unable to load dynamic library './/usr...  while it was saying previously
 Unable to load dynamic library '/usr...

Look at text around http://www.experts-exchange.com/help.jsp#hi100

In the question above, 3 persons have made contributions to help you finding the solution: yourself and 2 other experts (including me).
Decide what the collective work is worth: an A because it was fast, complete and precise? a B because it was not all of that? a C because it was not relevant or marginally useful in finding the solution (wrong suggestions may help you finding the solution, and are therefore useful)
Now that you have decided the grade... decide how to allocate the points: most probably a great share for you, since you eventually found the solution; and then some allocation to each expert. You share as you want, provided it is fair and the total matches the 500 points you initially placed on the table. (You will get back 'your points', the other experts will receive them with the multiplier corresponding to the grade.

Hi,
I just upgraded to Magento 1.1.3 and it was working. Then my ISP upgraded its PHP 5 and everything was broken: no more pdo (sounds familiar?).
After some search, my ISP finally created a php.ini to be placed in my /magento/ directory.
JUst at the bottom of the php.ini file, the lines below might interest you

[Zend]
zend_extension_manager.optimizer=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.3.3
zend_extension_manager.optimizer_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer_TS-3.3.3
zend_optimizer.version=3.3.3

extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_sqlite.so
extension=sqlite.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

zend_extension=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager.so
zend_extension_ts=/usr/local/Zend/lib/ZendExtensionManager_TS.so

Higher in the php.ini file is the line
;extension=pdo_mysql.so

As you see this line is NOT uncommented
