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?
Thanks in advance, George

You have to install the extension separately. PHP can no longer distribute it.

A typical installation might look like this:
$ sudo aptitude install apache2-mpm-prefork mysql-server php5-mysql cvs

$ sudo aptitude install apache2-mpm-prefork mysql-server php5-mysql cvs
yup this is enough to install php-mysql extension
its better to run this command "sudo apt-get update" before installing a new software/package
Also do "sudo a2enmod rewrite" to enable clean url
Ubuntu is not using httpd.conf instead its using 000-default as configuration file where you can change your document root, overridding and other things

Thanks for all the responses. I've tried the options given, and am now running into "No install profiles found". Any recommendations?
Thanks again, George

Hi,
You can also try install via Synaptic then click Marked by Task and select LAMP Server. Hope that helps.

If you are using the Ubuntu php packages, try installing the php5 mysql extension:
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
