    Sounds like your server doesn't have whatever PDO driver you need to communicate with the database type you've selected.

    If you create a file with just <?php phpinfo() ?> in it and then load it in your browser, look for the PDO section and then the Drivers part. What does it say? Also, what database type are you trying to use?

    Just to say that I had the same problem and fixed it as follows:

    I ran phpinfo and found that PDO was installed... Next step I checked php.ini and enabled the following:

    extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

    After that its all running... Hope that helps ;-)
