Question
Recently I decided to try out wordpress. I am running Ubuntu 9.04.
I installed apache 2, MySQL, and PHP 5. When I tried to run the installation: http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php
It gave me this error message:
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.
I have tested and verified that my apache server and mysql database server is running.
Is there any steps that I missed ?
Cheers,
Answer
Just run this:
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
And then restart apache.
