mysql connection issues on owncloud.
Why It’s happen ?
After spending two hours investigating on this issue, i have find-out the root causes of issue, this was happen due to pdo driver is not compiled with mysql in my server. Then i have compiled with pdo-mysql driver and tried. Finally Its success. See the below screen shot.
Install below extensions:
MySQL (php-mysql) – A extension for PHP applications that use MySQL databases.
root@server [~]# yum install php-mysql
PDO (php-pdo) – Database access module for PHP applications.
root@server [~]# yum install php-pdo
Add these lines to php.ini:
extension=pdo.so extension=pdo_mysql.so
Finally restart the web server.
root@server [~]# service httpd restart
Now, Owncloud connected with mysql database. See the below screen shot.
