Error in installing CF 5 in new Joomla instance

dnigra 06 Apr, 2017
I have been given a new Joomla 3.6.5 instance. Installing the latest CFV5 (5.0.14) component, I get this error:

ERROR: syntax error at or near "DESCRIBE" LINE 1: DESCRIBE `#__chronoengine_extensions` ^SQL=DESCRIBE `#__chronoengine_extensions`

The site is built with
PHP 5.4.6
Postgresql 9.2.18

Any ideas? I will also ask the sysadmin. Any suggestions on questions to ask or avenues to explore with the sysadmin also appreciated.

Hi dnigra,

This is a problem that we've seen before with PostGreSQL which doesn't support the DESCRIBE method. If you use the PDO database driver does it then work OK?

I don't know, but I'll see if we can try it....

Thanks so much.
