Movable Type Knowledge Base: Install

Question

When running the script, I get an error message that says Got an error: install_driver(sql) failed:, where sql is either mysql, Pg or SQLite.

Answer

This error means you have configured mt-config.cgi to use a SQL database option, but the appropriate required module is either not installed, or is missing a component it needs.

If the error references mysql, then the DBD::mysql module is not properly installed.

If the error references Pg, then the DBD::Pg module is not properly installed.

If the error references SQLite, then the DBD::SQLite module is not properly installed.

Contact your host or system administrator to have the necessary module installed or repaired; or choose another database option if one is available to you according to mt-check.cgi.
