HiI have problems installing both Mysqladmin and Wordpress - they both complain about a missing MySQL extension. As far as I can see, the missing extension is installed, but something is clearly missing. Wordpress says "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress" and MySQLAdmin says "Cannot load mysql extension. Please check your PHP configuration". I have installed PHP 5.3.8 using the addon from http://readynasxtras.comAny ideas?ThanksJRohde

I'm experiencing the same after buying the PHP addon from readynasxtras. Both Wordpress and ReadyNasXtras own PHPMYADMIN complains that it cannot find the proper mysql extension.Looking through phpinfo() I find that the usual "mysql" is not run, instead it is mysqlnd, as for "native driver" MySQL itself is working as I can connect to it through SSH. PLEASE, let's find out what's causing this!

Moving to add-on forum, not an issue with the firmware.PHP from WhoCares includes the mysql and mysqli extensions, have you enabled those? viewtopic.php?f=48&t=52765

chirpa wrote:Moving to add-on forum, not an issue with the firmware.PHP from WhoCares includes the mysql and mysqli extensions, have you enabled those? viewtopic.php?f=48&t=52765I answered in another thread here. I noticed in phpinfo() that the additional configuration directory was set, but the config files weren't loading. After enabled, disabling back and forth in the admin area for the addon PHP suddenly loaded all files and now WP and phpmyadmin seems happy.

Hi,i am also having issues with missing mysql extensions and the "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress" error message which appears when i try to load the page http://192.168.0.4/Website/wp-admin/install.php through my browser. I have installed the latest php version from WhoCares and have MysqlOn installed and running on my ReadyNas Duo and also PhpMyAdmin (though every time i click on Use PhpMyAdmin in frontview i get an error message saying The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration).I have managed to create a database through SSH so i am assuming that it is installed correctly & has been configured.Following all the instructions in these forums has got me this far (a am a complete novice at all of this) and i cant find out anything else which is of any use.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.T.

Tom, next time create a new thread, please do not revive an older one.Did you enable the mysqli extension in the PHP add-on interface?

That's why I wrote you should read the FAQ ;)

Configure PhpMyAdmin:


Allow logins without a password (localhost [1])
You allow for connecting to the server without a password. If you feel this is necessary, use additional protection settings - host authentication settings and trusted proxies list. However, IP-based protection may not be reliable if your IP belongs to an ISP where thousands of users, including you, are connected to.

OK done that, saved twice, same message.

Right... according to this FAQ I need a MySQL Add-On.. I thought this came with the PHP Add-On.

Will this work with PhpMyAdmin etc...?

I thought I read somewhere on ReadyNasExtras it doesn't work with 'SuperPoussin's' version.

As stated in the FAQ, PhpMyAdmin is a generic tool to administer different MySQL database that need not be located on the same machine. That's why it doesn't enable MySQL on the NAS it is running on - because that may not be what the user wants. The MySQLOn add-on from Super-Poussin deals only with starting/stopping the MySQL server, so it is safe to use. Problems may arise if you use the PHP add-on from Super-Poussin together with PhpMyAdmin.
