Is piwigo compatible with postgres
Hello/Hi/Greetings,
I installed piwigo on my vps with postgres databse, everything seems right in the installation I opened my url and made the installation steps, but when I fill the databse info and continue am having a blank page with this message:
'Array ( [0] => No such file or directory ) '
Is this related to postgres? Is it supported to begin with, or mysql is the only option?

Piwigo was almost completly supported with postgres as database engine.

Too bad this is not the case anymore.

Re: Is piwigo compatible with postgres
The reality was that there has been a try a few years ago, lead by nicolas. He made Piwigo core compatible with PostgreSQL. The problem was that only a tiny microscopic part of users was interested in this "technical detail" and only nicolas, as a developer, made his plugins compatible. Meaning the big majority of plugins were not compatible with PostgreSQL. The user experience was very bad because you successfully installed Piwigo on PostgreSQL and then nearly each time you tried to use a plugin, you had fatal errors. Other developers did not see the point to make Piwigo compatible with PostgreSQL (more work, more tests to do, nearly no user interested). The decision I took was to drop this compatibility to avoid the frustration among users.
Later nicolas created a fork of Piwigo (phyxo) and I suppose he has kept the PostgreSQL compatibility :-)
