Expresso Store Fatal Error: FakePDO not found

Question

Just attempted to install Expresso Store and I get the following warning and error and I am unable to proceed:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: Class 'Store\Illuminate\FakePDO' not found

Filename: store/autoload.php

Line Number: 50

and

...expressionengine/third_party/store/vendor/expressodev/laravel-codeigniter-db/src/Illuminate/CodeIgniter/CodeIgniterConnectionResolver.php on line 24

I am running EE 2.8.1.

Answer 1

This is a known issue running Store on some servers (where PDO is not installed), and is fixed in the upcoming version.

In the meantime, you can open up third_party/store/autoload.php, and around line 50, change this line:

class_alias('Store\Illuminate\FakePDO', 'PDO');

to this:

class_alias('Illuminate\CodeIgniter\FakePDO', 'PDO');
