Re: How to connect to a postgres database with CakePHP?

Hi Luis

Please check that the PostGres module has been loaded/activated in your web server.
Or run phpinfo(); and check that you can see Postgres module has been loaded and is available.
Kindly inform us of the result.

Kind regards
John

Hello everyone,

I'm just starting with CakePHP, I went through the blog tutorial without trouble but would now like to try it with a proper DBMS like postgres. I tweaked the database.php file to point to a database I created in my local postgres instance (see below). I have no issues connecting to this database with a SQL client, but CakePHP complains with the following message:

CakePHP is NOT able to connect to the database.

Database connection "Postgres" is missing, or could not be created.
Selected driver is not enabled

Apparently I need to enable the postgres driver (I already verifier that the postgres DboSource class in present), but so far I haven't found any instructions in the documentation on how to do it.

Any hints are welcome. Thanks.
