Install wordpress on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Question

I am trying to install wordpress on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and I have an issue. I am doing everything, step by step.

I installed these things and I've checked status as well:

• Apache ( status is active )
• Mysql ( status is active )
• PHP ( PHP 5.6.38-3+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 )

When I'm opening webrowser firefox with http://localhost/ I have an error:

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

What should I check? I checked another topic but its not help me.

Answer 1

It seems that you installed MySQL itself but not the php extension.

Try something like: sudo apt install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql
