Magento is a great Free / Open source eCommerce script, is much more prettier and yet complex than Prestashop or osCommerce or Virtuemart. Take sometimes to upload it to hosting server, but if your hosting provider have Automatic script installer like Installatron or Softacolous, you can install it in a breeze. So Installation of Magento is no longer problem.

But after a succesful installation, I even get this error saying that I dont have pdo_mysql installed on the server.

pdo_mysql extension is not installed

I don’t get it, when I check with function

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

pdo and pdo_mysql is there.

'--enable-pdo=shared'
'--with-pdo-mysql=shared'

So, it’s time for searching and lurking into Google and Magento forum/docs

You can use PHP classes called XpertMailer or PHPMailer but somehow it’s not working well on my host. Weird… The previous version XPertMailer works like charm but somehow the new one never sent my emails.

So I googling around and found Webmaster World’s Forum, and luckily the ini_set function is not disabled. So I test the script and it works flawlessly. Below is the script
