php selector missing mysql, mysqli extension

[tech]

What I found with this one is that it appears to use a symlink. It might not on your server setup.

I am using MariaDB10, and it appears that when cPanel updated this time (it doesnt always happen, and I have seen this on our other server using Plesk), it breaks the symlink.

It was showing
mysqli.so -> /opt/alt/php55/etc/mysql10./mysqli.so

When it should have been:
mysqli.so -> /opt/alt/php55/etc/mariadb10/mysqli.so

So the below fixes it (but maybe only until next update :P )

cd /opt/alt/php55/usr/lib64/php/modules
unlink mysql.so
ln -s /opt/alt/php55/etc/mariadb10/mysql.so /opt/alt/php55/usr/lib64/php/modules/mysql.so
unlink mysqli.so
ln -s /opt/alt/php55/etc/mariadb10/mysqli.so /opt/alt/php55/usr/lib64/php/modules/mysqli.so
unlink pdo_mysql.so
ln -s /opt/alt/php55/etc/mariadb10/pdo_mysql.so /opt/alt/php55/usr/lib64/php/modules/pdo_mysql.so

Just make sure that the symlinks are actually broken, and your directory structure may be different.

You would also need to check the other directories
/opt/alt/php53/usr/lib64/php/modules
/opt/alt/php54/usr/lib64/php/modules
/opt/alt/php56/usr/lib64/php/modules

Hope this helps someone

Hi,

I have the same problem.

No matther what php version I select in cpanel php selector, the mysql is not loaded into the sistem. I receive "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:The MySQL adapter "mysql" is not available."

/opt/alt/php53/etc/php.d.all/mysql.ini exists

Is there anything else I need to do ? I have fallowed this tutorial to setup php selector http://docs.cloudlinux.com/index.htm...d_support.html

thanks.

You can copy missing .ini file from another php version directory.

For example, mysql.ini, mysqli.ini, pdo_mysql.ini should be copied from /opt/alt/php53/etc/php.d.all to /opt/alt/php54/etc/php.d.all

Then you should execute # cagefsctl --rebuild-alt-php-ini

Hello,

I have been using cloudlinux with cpanel for a while and enable selector. I am checking the php version 5.4 in my selector, it does not have mysql and mysqli extension available to tick like the other version.

Anyone has the same issue and how to fix it?
