The post “How to work WordPress with SQLite” was written before.
In previous post, I described how to install WordPress with SQLite.

In this post, I will describe a note when you work WordPress with SQLite on Windows Server.

If you have seen the following error message, this post may be able to help you.

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the PDO extension which is required for this version of WordPress.

Perhaps, you will notice that this error message means that PDO does not work on web server.

If you want to clean this problem, you should check how PHP works on web server.

Let's try check 'PHP'

For example, you will upload the php file that does the following descriptions, and you might be able to check by displaying it on WEB site.

<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>

Can you find ‘PDO, SQLite’ like the following image?

If you find it, you should think error of apache or fail installation of PHP.
Let's try restart apache. If you do not clear this problem after restarting, I will advise that you reinstall apache.

If you are not able to find it, SQLite will not be able to work on WEB server. Addition, you should check the following point.

Let's try check 'php.ini'

Let’s open ‘php.ini’ file. (Usually, ‘php.ini’ file exists in the directory that PHP was installed. If you are not able to find its file, you should tell server manager. )

Were you able to find the following descriptions?
extension = php_pdo.dll

If you have not been able to find it, you should add its line (after ‘php_pdo.dll’ like a following code).

extension = php_pdo.dll
extension = php_sqlite.dll

Last operation, you will restart apache, and you may notice that this problem was cleared.
