[support] Database Drivers unreachable (dependecy hell)

[Jamie Holly]

Plop <?php phpinfo(); ?> into a file and load that in your browser to 
make sure PDO is actually loading. You should also have the base pdo 
driver there (pdo.so) and that along with whatever databases you want to 
use need to be loaded through php.ini as such:

extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
