CDbConnection error in Yii

Question

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.

Answer 1

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql followed by sudo apache2ctl graceful worked for me on Ubuntu Desktop
