PostGre Newbie, Help!

I am new to PostGre and would like to setup phpBB on it but, whenever I try to connect it says, \"The PHP configuration on your server doesn\'t support the database type that you chose.\" How can I make it so PostGre woud work with PHP? Thanks!

It sounds like postgresql support was not installed with your current version of php.

 

create a file called: phpinf.php which contains this:

 

[php:1:169120ff86]<?php

phpinfo();

?>[/php:1:169120ff86]

 

Point your browser to this file and examine the information it returns. I expect that this will provide verification that you will need to update your php installation to include postgresql support.

Well, I looked on postgresql.com, php.net, and I have done a Google on it and have found nothing about configuring it in php.ini. Would anybody be kind enough to find a link for me? Thanks. :D

I also couldn’t find any info to help me configure PHP to use postgre, I also tried to use MYSQL in a previous installation but my server was crashing constantly. Any help would be appreciated.

 

My phpinf.php file is lacking the postgre area as stated above, that’s good to know but I have no idea how to fix it.

 

Thanks,
