propel:build schema driver fails

Question

I'm doing jobeet day 3 and I copied the schema.yml into the config directory and so I'm trying to create a database schema and I ran:

$sudo php symfony propel:build-schema

propel Running "reverse" phing task [propel-schema-reverse] There was an error building XML from metadata: could not find driver

Some problems occurred when executing the task
If the exception message is not clear enough, read the output of the task for more information

At first it appeared that I needed a driver pdo.so, but then I read that pdo is now integrated into php5 which I am using on my Ubuntu (wubi) system.

Answer 1

I needed php -m to display pdo_mysql

Answer 2

why doin' with sudo?

Answer 3

I have the same problem and I am not able to figure out the problem. And I am new to symfony and propel, I did not understand your solution either. Can you please explain?
