New install modx: MODX requires the pdo_mysql driver when native PDO is being used and it does not appear to be loaded.

Is this something i have to deal with my provider? Or is there something i can do about this message?

Your provider has to enable the pdo_mysql drivers. That it isn't already available doesn't speak well for your provider. PDO isn't a whole lot of use without the mysql drivers.

I received the following mail by my hosting provider

The request to install pdo_mysql was unfortunately not followed up with the actual installation. The Shared hosting package does not allow this.

On the internet I searched for you for a solution, but found nothing concrete. To be honest, I see limitation in the requirements of the cms software.
Alternatively, there are three options.
- Perhaps Modx also works with SQL lite. This is driver available.
- You can switch to a dedicated server, where you can decide to install appropriate software.
- Perhaps you can use another CMS like Joomla or Wordpress, which worked very well with our servers and your subscription.

Are those guys nuts?

I mean.. how sad is this?
