Why am I getting the error “Class PDO not found” in this situation?

Question

I am getting the following error even though I have PDO installed and included in my php.ini.

What could I be possibly missing? I am using doctrine and codeigniter

You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected 'America/Chicago' for 'CDT/-5.0/DST' instead</p>

My phpinfo can be seen at: http://173.203.85.196/test.php

In my php.ini I have the following 2 lines:

extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

Answer 1

Are you getting this error on a webpage? or running from cli?

php-cli might be using a different php.ini

Answer 2

Restart the apache server. If you haven't done so.
