I suggest to contact your hosting tech support/server admin and ask him to enable the mysql driver for the PDO. This can be done easily by editing the php.ini file </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/upgrade-error#post-13856 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 19:15:53 +0000 jscott02 13856@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I see the slight difference and only reverted back to V2 code when it would not work but the v3 code still is not connecting</p> <p>/** MySQL settings **/</p> <p>define('MF_DB_NAME', 'mfsigmaxiforms'); //The name of your database.

Check the new config file and fill in the data manually. The new file is slightly different. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/upgrade-error#post-13832 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 05:32:59 +0000 pwpearce 13832@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I have the same problem- trying to upgrade 2 to 3:<br /> Error message-<br /> -Error connecting to the database: could not find driver-</p> <p>I don't know if this is a bug or if I have a bad configuration...<br /> or missing files from the upload to server.</p> <p>Is there a file I should be looking for? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/upgrade-error#post-13827 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 01:45:07 +0000 jscott02 13827@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I am getting an error connecting to DB: Error connecting to the database: could not find driver</p> <p>My DB setting are all fine see below:</p> <p>/** MySQL settings **/<br /> define('DB_NAME', 'mfsigmaxiforms'); //The name of your database.
