Maybe your database configuration not configured properly?

Hi,

Has there been any fix to this please? I have the same issue, i don't seem to have any database issue because i configured two boxes and one's working and the other is having this exception.

I'm using ubuntu 16.04

If you're getting this error, you've most likely made some mistake in configuring the connection to the database. Have a look in your Apache logs for more information. They might be in /var/log/apache2/mellivora-error.log.

In my case, Arch+apache2+mariadb+php7:
The specified error.log contained a message similar to:
PDOException: could not find driver in mysql pdo

Ended up editing:
/etc/php/php.ini

Changing line:
;extension=pdo_mysql

To:
extension=pdo_mysql

Also cleared out the log at /var/log/httpd/mellivora error.log because it contained the DB creds as part of the error message.

hth, cheers

Sorry for my english but, do you see if the pass of loggin to mysql is same pass in the create of database ?

i have this error because my pass when i created db was "" (empty)

Hi,
I also tried to install mellivora on a Rasperry PI (raspbian image) and had the same issue. The fix for this is quite simple. The driver for php mysql is not installed, so just install it with:

sudo apt install php7.0-mysql

After that, restart the web server with:

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Everything works fine for me now.
