Hi, I have a problem with database table in Function->Database->Read Table

Inside General, Database table is EMPTY and not sho list table




------Select table------
Database connection failed.

Hi guerriero,

Do you have the "External database" enabled ?

Best regards,
Max

Hi Max,

I note the OP hasn't replied I just discovered this when I went to create a new CC6 connection, I have checked the external database setting and it isn't enabled.

Jumping back to CC5 and it works as expected there.

Max,

I have just tested this on a clean install, on php 5.6.31 7.0.21 & 7.1.7 all of them are displaying the database connection failed, I can also replicate the issue in Chronoforms V6 as well, this is using CF 6.0.5 & 6.0.6

I also did a clean install of Joomla 3.6.4 along with CC 6 and also had the same result😟

Hi Dave,

Do you have PDO mysql enabled on your web server ?

I was pretty sure I was going to say no, I have checked and it is enabled!

I have just disabled it and I am now able to select databases! Thanks for pointing me in the right direction🙂

Hi Dave,

Good, but I think that having it enabled may work for other users too!

Best regards,
