DietPi

Hey there,

Deciding that I'd like to host my own, I ran through the dietpi-software install of both WordPress and Image Gallery. Browsing to my Pi/wordpress though doesn't seem to work. It tells me: Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

However, browsing to phpinfo.php does seem to show it's there. I'm also running Subsonic 6 and Pi-Hole without issues, though unsure if either of them need/use PHP anywhere.

The installation of WordPress didn't give me any errors, and rebooted the Pi at the end as it was supposed to. Any ideas? Thanks!

Works now. It appears that php5-mysql wasn't installed originally. Installed phpMyAdmin as well and that came along with it, now WordPress launches correctly.

Hi,

Thanks for the report.
I believe i've found the cause for this, will be resolved for next update v140.

Just to confirm, so I can run test, which webserver choice are you using (eg: Lighttpd/Nginx/Apache2)?

Thanks! I'm running with lighttpd at the moment. Still debating if I'll switch to another one, but so far it seems to be doing what it needs to.
