Error When Installing

[Monopet]

Still waiting.


Also aaa WoW :0 I'd play WoW again but I'm too busy with LoL hiehueh

[Ruinily]

Oh I've heard of LoL, but my brother who is a hardcore pvper got owned a lot in it, so I'd probably get steamrolled. XD And besides I'm one of those noobs in WoW that runs around collecting pets. >.>' I might not be able to pvp another player, but my pet army's combined level could! XD

umm this is weird, does a support ticket usually take this long to process?

[Ruinily]

I think so on this host. It could be because support tickets are the only way of contacting the host so they have a lot to get through...

[Hall of Famer]

Yeah, it would be bad if the host gets too many PDO requests and get annoyed by them...

[Monopet]

They should make it enabled by default, then. Seems the legit thing to do in this sittuation ^^

I'm checking my email every few hours, still no answer.

[Hall of Famer]

Well usually webhosts do enable it by default, and thats what happened to Iris when she first began using the webhost. Do you think its perhaps a better idea to send another support ticket? If still no response, I will see if theres a way to get it to work for you with MySQLi instead of PDO. It wont work as nice from a coder's point of view, but from an end users experience it may not differ much.

Hello,

There is a vast number of free users who are trying to abuse our system or trying to cause damages to third parties using our services.
Unfortunately PDO has been disabled for security reasons on the free hosting plans. Please feel free to upgrade your plan if you would like to use it.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
David

Apparently I have to either pay or move. Great. :/
I don't want to pay because I have no idea if the site will actually work fine then.

I dunno, I think I'll move? She PM'd me with a substitute host.

[Hall of Famer]

I see, thats so unfortunate, I dont understand why webhosts disable PDO when its so vastly used in many web applications, not just this one. Anyway I wish you good luck moving hosts, it may not be an easy job. Lemme know if theres anything you need help with.

Sorry it didn't work out with host-ed, Maria! I haven't used the free hosting services in a month or two so I wasn't aware of the problem. I'm not sure if the other host is upgraded to php 5.3.9 yet, but other users have been using it for Mys 1.3.2 so I'd assume it's working fine now.

The installation process for the files and databases is all pretty much the same :) Actually I think the two hosts might use the same cPanel..? Can't remember.

Well, do let me know how it goes!
