Issue

Whenever I am trying to login in my Yii application it is showing error like

CDbConnection failed to open the DB connection: could not find driver .

I googled many hours and from many blogs I knew that I need pdo_mysql but that is already installed. In php.ini I also made comment these lines

;extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

;extension=php_mysql.dll

and restarted apache server but still showing the same prob. I am using ubuntu 11.04. Please help me to solve the error.

Solution

For Ubuntu(linux), you will need to recompile Apache. Simple uncommenting will not work. In Ubuntu, I believe you can do some apt-get.
