Then ask your hosting company to install it for you. > why is it cakephp 2.0.0 changed the way of connect the mysql DB. Part of the purpose of the CakePHP 2 release was to remove crufty old code (including code for compatibility with older PHP versions) and replace it with shiny new modern code. And PDO is the "new" modern cool way to connect to databases in PHP, which offers many advantages you can read about in the PHP documentation. It's been around since at least 2005, so it's not really new anymore, and if your hosting company doesn't offer it for MySQL, then they're seriously behind the times and you should switch to another hosting company that's more aware of how PHP is used these days. -- Our newest site for the community: CakePHP Video Tutorials http://tv.cakephp.org Check out the new CakePHP Questions site http://ask.cakephp.org and help others with their CakePHP related questions.
