When generate project structure by yii command, did you change db connection in protected/config before access model generator ?

What does the requirement script say?

Make sure that you have installed the necessary php extensions.

The error says it all really, it cannot make the connection to your database because it cannot find the database driver. Either install the missing driver, or you may have the connectionID configured incorrectly in the config file...

I am using sqlite. I had same error. I uncommented line: extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll in file php.ini.

Be sure to restart your web server (Apache) after doing this to reload the configuration/driver(s).

Also check this line of code in main.php

			'connectionString' => '[b]mysql[/b]:host=localhost;dbname=lms',

I had this same problem and found this thread.. here's what my problem was

My PHP installed & configured this by default >>
extension=php_sqlite.dll

Yii wants this
extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll

Best

I have the same problem and use MySQL.

In php.ini I have both enabled
extension=php_mysql.dll
and
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

Have I disable "extension=php_mysql.dll" ?

check if you've configured database connection in your protected/config/console.php.

Exactly!
