Can i use Cakephp 2 with mysql without using PDO?

I'm trying to host a cakephp2 application on an old managed server that has pdo_mysql disabled. Politics dictates that I'm unable to rectify this problem, so I'm looking for connection alternatives.

cakephp is producing the following error: "A Database connection using "Mysql" was missing or unable to connect.
The database server returned this error: Selected driver is not enabled"

Is there a way to connect to the database using the older mysql database extension?

There's no easy way to do it.

If you want to, you could write your own DboSource class, you could reuse the the existing one and use the old-deprecated mysql database extension. (Or if you're lucky you could find one on the internet, but i doubt it)

Then you'll only need to change the DboSource in your settings to use your own class

Hope this helps
