I'm doing a new install on an Ubuntu 8.04 server w/PHP5, MySQL server and apache2. I'm getting the "We're unable to use the MySQL database because the MySQL extension for PHP is not installed" error. If found the "extension=mysql.so" statement in the php.ini file and activated it, but find no "mysql.so" file on the server (even after installing mysql-client per a couple of forum/site recommendations. Any ideas?

If you are using the Ubuntu php packages, try installing the php5 mysql extension:

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
