PHP - Your PHP Installation Appears to Be Missing the MySQL Extension Which Is Required by Wordpress

Php - Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress

The php mysql api is deprecated. It's kaput --- going away -- not to be used, finito.

If you have a modern version of PHP (> 5.6) then Wordpress should automatically switch to make use of mysqli. That should be your first attempt.

If you can not update your php, rather than attempting to resurrect something that php no longer supports, just patch your wordpress: http://wordpress.org/plugins/mysqli/

If you are already running a modern version of PHP, then this is likely because you don't have the mysqli extension in your version of PHP. You can check this using php -i from your server OS, or make a page with <php phpinfo(); and navigate to that page with your browser. There will be section for all the extensions.

If you don't have the mysqli extension installed, follow the instructions from the official PHP documentation.

Probably, you need to install the MySQL extension for PHP:

Then restart Apache

Thanks for contributing to the answer.

Nothing worked to solve this issue. Although I faced the same issue. @igor yavych answer was quite useful.

Finally R&D worked and here's the final solution:

In order to deploy PHP applications, you will need to implement the following “PHP-FastCGI” solution to allow nginx to properly handle and serve pages that contain PHP code.

sudo apt-get install php5-cli php5-cgi php5-fpm

Now, install NGINX:

sudo apt-get install nginx

Now configure NGINX then restart NGINX and PHP5-fpm:

service php5-fpm restart
/etc/init.d/nginx restart

Issue the following command to install the MySQL server packages and required PHP support for MySQL (You do not have to purge MySQL Server):

sudo apt-get install mysql-server php5-mysql

Finally restart php5-fpm:

service php5-fpm restart

Congratulations! Now it's working!
