Garden/Vanilla 2 installation problems

mike901

trying to install Garden/Vanilla2 on localhost. Using mysql 5.0.22. I fill out the first form on the install page, entering my database name and database login information. The database exists, the database login info is correct and I get the following message:. Any suggestions?

"The connection parameters you specified failed to open a connection to the database. The database reported the following error: could not find driver"

fyi, the prompts are:
database host: localhost
database user: (I use root)
database password: mypassword

help. thanks.

Linc

Howdy, Mike. Check phpinfo() and see if pdo_mysql is installed. That's the most common culprit.
