Is My MySQL Extension Missing? Troubleshooting WordPress on NAS with Telnet

How to Resolve the Missing MySQL Extension Error for WordPress on NAS with Telnet

The issue at hand stems from an error message indicating that the MySQL extension is missing in the PHP installation, which is required for WordPress to function properly.

Troubleshooting:

1. Verify MySQL Server Status:

   • Run /etc/init.d/mysql status to check if the MySQL server is running. If not, start it with /etc/init.d/mysql start.
   • If MySQL is not installed, use apt-get install mysql-server for installation.

2. Install PHP5 MySQL Module:

   • Execute dpkg --list | grep php5-mysql to check if the php5-mysql module is installed.
   • Install it using apt-get install php5-mysql if it's missing.

3. Uncomment PHP.ini:

   • Edit the php.ini file (located at ffp/etc/php.ini) and uncomment the following extensions:

     • extension=php_mysql.dll
     • extension=php_mysqli.dll

4. Restart Apache2 Web Server:

   • Execute /etc/init.d/apache2 restart to restart the web server.

Additional Notes:

• Ensure that the MySQL service is started before running phpinfo().
• The shortcut from root to ffp/opt/mysql may be deleted because root is not the intended directory for MySQL data. Consider creating a symlink instead.
