PHP Extension "pdo_mysql" and shell_exec() error

[replaya]

Hi,

I am trying to install Magento E-commerce package and it gives me the error: PHP Extension "pdo_mysql" must be loaded.


I have upgraded to intermediate php version as of today and it was fine on the basic configuration

The issue is coming up during the installation stage at this link:
http://magento.exofire.net/index.php/install/wizard/config/

Would you be kind enough to re-enable this extension please.


I also have another problem which has come to surface, since being upgraded, the magento-check.php file which checks to see if the server has all the requirements, in the basic config it was all fine now I am receiving the this error:

Warning: shell_exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/replaya/public_html/magento-check.php on line 28

using
http://magento.exofire.net/magento-check.php

Thanks in advanced for your support

shell_exec() is only available on advanced PHP config. You will have to apply for this with a very good reason as to why you need it and it could take 24-48 hours for the request to be processed.

The link (http://magento.exofire.net/index.php/install/wizard/config/) is not a valid link. Even after removing the index.php from it it does not resolve.

I dont get this everything was working fine on the basic. I didnt have any issues installing Magento.. the process was straightforward all I was missing was PEAR so i could download the extension.

But Now since upgrading to Intermediate I get the shell_exec() error and now pdo_enabled is not loaded, which was fine on the basic.

so how come all these problems now , its doesnt make sense to upgrade to advanced
