I'm trying to install Wordpress in my Rails /public folder. I get the following error message:

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

PHP Version 5.2.4-2ubuntu5 is running.

I assume I need to alter the php.ini file, but I don't know how, or with what.

Any help appreciated.

No, you need to install the mysql extension for PHP. Try sudo apt-get install php5-mysql to install it (or install php5-mysql from synaptic). The package manager will modify all files accordingly.

  • Thanks. The site is hosted on slicehost - so do I write that in the site management console? or via SSH from my local machine? – strangerpixel Apr 30 '10 at 10:37
  • I am not familiar with slicehost, so I can't really comment on that, but if you have SSH access, I would just try this. – Sven Apr 30 '10 at 10:50
