Hello,

I have just come across mahara and wanted to try it and host it locally. I have read the Installing manual and was following it to install.

I created the db and made the necessary config.

Am using a windows platform

When I try to install i get the following error"

Mahara: Site unavailable

Your server configuration does not include the pgsql extension.

If you are using MySql, I supose that you changed the $cfg->dbtype variable from
= 'postgres8' to = mysql5
or similar.

is right?

Chris,

if you read the page about installing Mahara you will read in PHP Extensions section that you need install or activate the curl extension (and perhaps others).

Bye

Hello,

Could I have some more explanation on this error please?

I have setup the config.php file and changed the $cfg->dbtype = 'mysql5'

Yet I still get the error for the pgsql not being installed.

Do I still need these extensions even thou I'm not using them?

Is there a local resource where I can get all the extenesions I need to save me searching through the net for them, Everyone doing this install must be going to need them, can we get them up as a resource?

Thanks heaps

Troy Smith
