PHP mysql extension problem

[ZmicierOk]

Hello. I have CloudLinux 9.5 and I can't find mysql php7* extension. There is no `mysql.so` file in `/opt/alt/php7*/usr/lib64/php/modules/` folders. When I'm trying to install alt-php7*-mysql package I receive an error in configuration step:

yum reinstall alt-php73-mysql

Hello,

I just tried reproducing this issue on a test server and did not got an error you have. Please try clearing yum cache and try again. Here is the content of modules directory on CL9 server with cPanel:

# ls -la /opt/alt/php73/usr/lib64/php/modules/ | grep mysql
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Aug 12 2024 mysqli.so -> /opt/alt/php73/etc/mysql8.0/mysqli.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root linksafe 267216 Feb 26 05:30 mysqlnd.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root linksafe 150808 Feb 26 05:30 nd_mysqli.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root linksafe 37072 Feb 26 05:30 nd_pdo_mysql.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Aug 12 2024 pdo_mysql.so -> /opt/alt/php73/etc/mysql8.0/pdo_mysql.so

Please also pay attention alt-php73-mysql8.0 package provides mysqli extensions only:

# rpm -ql alt-php73-mysql8.0-7.3.33-8.el9.x86_64
/opt/alt/php73/etc/mysql8.0/mysqli.so
/opt/alt/php73/etc/mysql8.0/pdo_mysql.so​

There was no yum cache. I have created 2 symlinks for mysql.so and pdo_mysql.so . Now the folder looks like:

ls -la /opt/alt/php73/usr/lib64/php/modules/ | grep mysql
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root           37 Apr  3 11:25 mysqli.so -> /opt/alt/php73/etc/mysql8.0/mysqli.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root linksafe   267216 Feb 26 06:30 mysqlnd.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root linksafe   150808 Feb 26 06:30 nd_mysqli.so
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root linksafe    37072 Feb 26 06:30 nd_pdo_mysql.so
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root           40 Apr  3 11:25 pdo_mysql.so -> /opt/alt/php73/etc/mysql8.0/pdo_mysql.so​

but anyway I can't see mysql and pdo_mysql extensions in PHP selector. Maybe you can help how to install them manually (in that way like they will appear in PHP selector). Thanks in advance.

There are no needs in mysql.so since PHP 7.1 , the mysqlnd.so is in charge, please check https://cloudlinux.zendesk.com/hc/en...QL-ND-vs-MySQL for more details.
