Make sure error reporting is enabled on your server or check the error_log for the errors.

sometimes i get this message when i open my site
Hosting Server Requirements

Your hosting account doesn't meet the following requirements:

  • PDO PHP extension not installed

Please correct these before you can proceed with Oxwall installation. Complete server requirements list and compatible hosting can be found at Oxwall.org/hosting


sometimes i get this and sometimes not, do you think if i installed this PDO PHP will work? how i do install this PDO PHP extension?

Dear Sezar, you will need to contact your hosting company so that they install PDO PHP extension for you.
