Hi!
I noticed today, that the setup errors out if mysql ist not available.
Fill out the form and click on "Test database server connection and view collations." - Nothing happens.
Firebug shows a 500 return from the webserver.
Digging into the sourcecode, I can see it stops at modInstallDriver_mysql->verifyServerVersion.
On line 142 of setup/includes/drivers/modinstalldriver_mysql.class.php there is:
$handler = @mysql_connect(...);
which of course results in a fatal error when the mysql extension is not loaded.
I don't know if this should be considered a bug, because the general requirements page (
http://develop.modx.com/develop/revolution/requirements/) does not list mysql as a needed extension.
Here's a short backtrace from the ajax request:
D:\webroot\modx_1\setup\includes\drivers\modinstalldriver_mysql.class.php:143
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[file] => D:\webroot\modx_1\setup\processors\database\connection.php
[line] => 71
[function] => verifyServerVersion
[class] => modInstallDriver_mysql
[type] => ->
)
[1] => Array
(
[file] => D:\webroot\modx_1\setup\includes\request\modinstallconnectorrequest.class.php
[line] => 89
[args] => Array

[function] => include

[2] => Array
(
[file] => D:\webroot\modx_1\setup\processors\connector.php
[line] => 30
[function] => handle
[class] => modInstallConnectorRequest
[type] => ->
)
)
It's not difficult to enable mysql, but to my mind the setup should handle this gracefully.
What do you think?
System: Windows 7 x64
Webserver: Apache 2.4.6
Mysql: 5.6
PHP: 5.4.18
ModX: Revo 2.2.9
