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

[possien 4]

I am trying to set up yii.  I have it installed and running on Ubuntu 13.10.  I have googled and searched to find why it cannot connect to a MySQL db and can't find a fix.  I have MySQL in my php ini file with pdo, checked passwords/users and checked the requirements page. I've changed the main.php (several times) and console.php.   Using PHP 5.3.3, MySql 5.5.3.  Everything seems to be correct but obviously not.  Anyone have any suggestions?

I've changed the main.php (several times) and console.php.

Changed them *how* ... or, to what?

 

Anyone have any suggestions?

Looking at this page: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/guide/1.1/en/database.dao

 

I see a couple, maybe three, possibilities:

 

1] No PDO extension?

2] No PDO database driver?

3] Incorrect DNS or credentials.

And, judging by the information in your thread title, #2 is the winner.
