How can I tell if SQLite is installed properly on Linux?

Question

I'm using a web hosting service on a shared account. They have MySQL, but I need to use SQLite for a Joomla extension called SobiPro. How can I tell if SQLite is installed and working properly on Linux?

SQLite is an embedded database, i.e., it is usually compiled directly into the application that uses it.

In your case, SQLite must be enabled in the PHP configuration. The SobiPro documentation says:

SQLite can be supported directly via the SQLite extension or through the PHP Data Objects extension.

To check PHP extensions, use get_loaded_extensions or something like <?php phpinfo(INFO_MODULES); ?>.
