Why It’s happen ?

After spending two hours investigating on this issue, i have find-out the root causes of issue, this was happen due to pdo driver is not compiled with mysql in my server. Then i have compiled with pdo-mysql driver and tried. Finally Its success. See the below screen shot.

Install below extensions:

MySQL (php-mysql) – A extension for PHP applications that use MySQL databases.

root@server [~]# yum install php-mysql

PDO (php-pdo) – Database access module for PHP applications.

root@server [~]# yum install php-pdo

Add these lines to php.ini:

extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

Finally restart the web server.

root@server [~]# service httpd restart

Now, Owncloud connected with mysql database. See the below screen shot.
