# PDO Driver for SQLite is missing

 * I just downloaded `wordpress-4.1.2.zip` and `sqlite-integration.1.8.1.zip` and
   unzipped them locally in a system with the following specifications:
    - Apache: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)
    - PHP: 5.5.9-1ubuntu4.9
    - I stored `sqlite-integration` folder in `plugins` folder, and moved `db.php`
      file to `wp-content` folder and generated the required keys…
       The result was
      this message:
    - >  PDO Driver for SQLite is missing.
      >  Your PHP installtion appears not to 
      > have the right PDO drivers loaded. These are required for this version of
      > WordPress and the type of database you have specified.
    - Did I miss something?
       Thanks in advance for the help.

 * Where can I get it from?
 * Recently, I added these lines to `/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini`:
 *     ```
       [Pdo]
       extension=pdo.so
       extension=pdo_mysql.so
       ```
   
 * The PDO error message disapeared, but I’m getting now this error message:
 * > Unable to create the required directory! Please check your server settings.

 * By default php outputs its log to syslog.
 * pdo_mysql.so is unnecessary. For the last error, check your permissions (and 
   ownership). Has to be writable for php and apache.

 * Well then, how to get php logs?
 * > Has to be writable for php and apache.
 * How? I store a lot of PHP files in this directory, and they all work properly,
   except WordPress directory.

 * Put your syslog up here with whatever php related.

 * Check and change the ownership of those files to whatever apache uses. Use chown.
