Im getting an error message about PDO or pdo_mysql not being available. Whats up with that?

Revolution makes heavy use of xPDO, which is based on PDO, for DB access. The message usually means that pdo is not enabled in the php.ini file. On a local install, find the master php.ini file (PhpInfo() will tell you where it is) and back it up before making any changes. This can’t be stressed enough. A messed up php.ini file can bring down your whole web site, so it’s important to be able to restore it. It’s hard to give generic advice here on altering php.ini because it depends on your platform, but basically you need to uncomment the line that enables what the error message tells you needs enabling. Uncomment the line by removing the semicolon at the beginning.
