I'm trying to install Wordpress on a RHEL Machine. I initially had gotten mySQL up and running and then realized that my PHP was version 5.1.6. I added another repo, installed PHP 5.3 and removed the old php packages.
The error I get on a browser when I open localhost/wp-admin/install.php is:
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.
I have the package php-mysql.x86_64 installed and I can't figure out what the problem is. I don't know what to do! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
So, I figured this out. The latest php version was installed. I was using 64 Bit RHEL and the libraries were in the /usr/lib64 folder instead of the /usr/lib folder. Once I changed that bit in the php.ini file, it ran like a charm. :)
Install required PHP libraries. RHEL installation command ( with all required modules for Wordpress):
sudo yum install php-bcmath php-cli php-common php-devel php-gd php-imap php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-mysqlnd php-odbc php-pdo php-pear php-pecl-geoip php-pecl-jsonc php-pecl-jsonc-devel php-pecl-zip php-pgsql php-process php-tidy php-xml php-xmlrpc
