Magento is a great Free / Open source eCommerce script, is much more prettier and yet complex than Prestashop or osCommerce or Virtuemart. Take sometimes to upload it to hosting server, but if your hosting provider have Automatic script installer like Installatron or Softacolous, you can install it in a breeze. So Installation of Magento is no longer problem.

But after a succesful installation, I even get this error saying that I dont have pdo_mysql installed on the server.

pdo_mysql extension is not installed

I don’t get it, when I check with function

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

pdo and pdo_mysql is there.

'--enable-pdo=shared'
'--with-pdo-mysql=shared'

So, it’s time for searching and lurking into Google and Magento forum/docs

Access WHM >> Plugins >> Fantastico De Luxe WHM Admin again, this time it asked to re-install. Done that. But I still get the same error.
