‘Appears to be missing the MySQL extension’

  • I’m trying to install WP on to my site. I’ve downloaded the files from WP site and uploaded them to my site but when I go to install it an error message is displayed

    ‘Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress’

    Can someone advise where I might find MySQL extension and where I should enter it once found many thanks

    Phil

    Talk to your hosting provider, make sure they have it installed.

    Another person had this same question but under the “Database” topic.

    Have you resolved the issue at hand moneymcgrew?

    Does your host provide the latest version of mySQL if not then I can provide you with the latest at my shared ip.
    There is no excuse for the host and each good application is made compatible to the latest server side programming language and database software. So if you have the latest wp files then make sure your host is on the same page.
