Requirements Not Met/Missing mysqli extension

[npichetto]

I tried installing WordPress on my site, but when I navigate to it I get:

Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

Please check that the mysqli PHP extension is installed and enabled.

I hadn't changed any of my php settings - I double checked the version (7.3) and that the mysqli extension is enabled on my php version page:


I don't think this is a WP issue either, because I get similar errors when installing other apps like Joomla or Sitepad.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you!

I also tried unticking and re-ticking the mysqli extension, no-go.

Do you have a phpinfo file setup? https://tbint.us/phpinfo.php

Try:

• Disabling mysqlnd, nd_mysqli, nd_pdo_mysql
• Enable mysqli, pdo, pdo_dblib, pdo_mysql, pdo_sqlite

Looks to like sqlite3 needs to be disabled also. I don't have it in any php version. There is a alert at the top of the page when enabling and disabling. What does yours say when enabling msqli?

1. I cannot disable sqlite3; the UI prevents it. The tickbox is "greyed" (although with the color scheme it looks like a light blue) and the mouse cursor changes to a "no" symbol (red circle with slash) when I hover over it. Clicking the tickbox does nothing.

2. I get no such alert when enabling/disabling mysqli:

but I already had nd_mysqli disabled. When I tried enabling nd_mysqli with mysqli already enabled, it failed and I got the same alert as you. I disabled mysqli and tried enabling nd_mysqli again, it succeeded, and then I was not able to enable mysqli. I'm guessing these are conflicting extensions, so x10 prevents you from enabling both.

Your on x12, sure seems like a buggy server.

I had to disable msqlnd (mysql native drivers) and enable pdo for mysqli ext to be recognize.

Have you switched to php 7.4 to see what options there are on x12?

I've noticed Is it possible to get moved to a less buggy server? I know I'm using free tier but so far I'm getting my money's worth

Looks pretty similar. Still getting the "requirements not met" message

 

[npichetto]

Hmmm my phpinfo page still says it's running 7.3... how long does that usually take to propagate to the site? Or do I need to "save" or "deploy" the new php version somehow?

Edit: Nevermind, I forgot to click "apply"

FYI, I do see sqlite3 on your site's phpinfo page:

Yes but not in "DA select php version options".

I'm not sure about that! That would fall to staff/admin. They are watching this post and will bring it to the admins attention.

I do not see msqli, mysqlnd, or pdo in your phpinfo: https://techreviews.x10.bz/phpinfo.php

I know what I'd do if I had access to x12, I like puzzles. Remove all installed software. Then reset php to default, maybe even disable php access in domain setup and enable. Use phpinfo only in public_html until I got the php mysqli ext. to show up.

One last thing, Check out how php version 8.2 options works. mysqlnd (PHP native driver for MySQL) only. It has drivers for MySQLi Extension (MySQL Improved). https://tbint.us/phpinfo.php

Is this significant?

Yours:

Additional .ini files parsed

/opt/alt/php82/link/conf/alt_php.ini

Mine:

(none)

So here's a tidbit I just noticed.... none of the extensions that aren't "greyed out" on my UI are showing up in phpinfo:

bcmath
dom
fileinfo
gd
intl
ioncube_loader
json
mbstring
mysqli
mysqlnd
pdo
pdo_mysql
pdo_sqlite
phar
posix
soap
sockets
xmlreader
xmlwriter
xsl
zip

So basically nothing I do in that page is registering wherever the actual enabling of the extensions is done. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? Did I accidentally delete something necessary? I'm usually very careful about such things, but it's possible I suppose.

Looks significant! That seems server side. I use .htaccess. Have you tried to PHP Extension "Rest to Default"?

Just installed via softaculous. Basic install https://tbint.us/wpress/

Try to contact @spacresx or @Anna or @Eric S

Yes, I have reset to default multiple times

In DA file manager, Go to Directory >> .cl.selector anything in that directory (alt_php82.cfg)? Better yet .cagefs/opt

I only have defaults.cfg in .cl.selector/

Better yet .cagefs/opt

This is the file structure of .cagefs:

/link/ folder is in all php version folders, but all folders are otherwise empty.

I don't now if you can write to .cl.selector but here is alt_php82.cfg from my directory. You will have to rename it. https://tbint.us/

I don't think it will work, if you want to try you can.

Is php access on?

Yes. I disabled it and re-enabled it earlier, as you suggested here

You are correct, it didn't work. I changed the name to match the php version I'm using, assuming that's what you meant. I also used the same name and updated to php 8.2, which also didn't work. Still seeing this though:
