Installer does not verify that there is a valid DB extension loaded

Description:

Mautic has a great installer that not only checks for a sane kit, but gives some helpful recommendations on things to do before you install Mautic. One thing it does NOT check for is a valid DB extension.

If a bug:

Q	A
Mautic version	2.9 BETA
PHP version	7.1

Steps to reproduce:

1. My full Docker file is:

FROM php:7.1-apache
run apt-get update && apt-get install -y libmcrypt-dev zip libicu-dev libc-client-dev libkrb5-dev && rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists/* 
run docker-php-ext-configure imap --with-kerberos --with-imap-ssl && \
   docker-php-ext-install imap mcrypt intl zip 
Expose 80

Save this a Dockerfile somwhere.

2: Run the Build Command:

$ docker build --tag php7.1_apache .

Run this in the directory you saved the Dockerfile or replace the . with the full path and filename of the Dockerfile

3: Check out the Mautic Repo into a new directory
4: run composer install in your new Mautic directory
5: Run this docker command in your new Mautic directory.

$ docker run -ti -p 80:80 -v %cd%:/var/www/html php7.1_apache

(All of this is on Windows 10, adjust as necessary for Linux.)

6: You should get the green "Ready to Install" and one recommendation about setting the timezone.
7: Click "Next Step"
8: You will see a dropdown combo box for the type of DB connection but there will be nothing in it. The default for php:7.1_apache is not to have MySQLi or PDO_MuSQL installed.

Even though Mautic's installer gave it the green light, this cannot be installed because there is no DB.

The installer should check for a DB extension before it gives the all clear.

This is an edge case I realize that 99.99% of all computers or installs that people will install Mautic on will have a DB. However, since the Mautic installer is so awesome, I thought I would point hut how it could be a little more awesome. :)

Cheers!

Hi there, as we are only providing fixes for Mautic 3.x going forward, can you confirm if this continues in Mautic 3.0.1?
Thanks!

Hi, without any feedback we cannot carry this issue open anymore. I'll close it and in case a new comment justify to re-open it, I'll be glad to do it :)
