Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is require

  • Just installed ver 2.5 on RHEL 5. I confirmed everything is isntalled (php,mysql and apache). But i get the following when loading the install script:

    install.php

    Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required.

    I followed all the instructions on creating the DB etc and It all seemed to go through without a hitch. There was mention to put in a line on php.ini extension=mysql.so but that has not fixed it either.

    Can someone help, I have tried everything that has come up in google.

  • I have to use the Windows version on Godaddy for my website because of one of the database features.

    Am I just out of luck?

    Hi matteocv,

    You’re not out of luck because Windows IIS 7 hosting accounts support PHP. For more on Windows Hosting PHP support, see this help article:

    Fellow XP with PHP 5’ers, the key (I found) was in those flipping dll’s. After going through every conf file and rechecking locations and file placement, I began by copying the msql.dll from /PHP to Windows32 which was a no go. Then through above posts, I realized there is ALSO a php_mysql in /PHP/ext. Very nice. So I pulled out the shotgun, copied the 4 dll’s that contained ‘sql’ from ext and pasted them all into BOTH /PHP and Windows32. Bingo, got the critter.
