Mysql extension missing in php.ini

[kasirajan]

I am getting the following error while installing Test Link 1.8

"Checking PHP DB extensions Warning!: Your PHP installation don't have the mysql extension mysql- without it is IMPOSSIBLE to use Testlink.Failed! "

Please help me how to solve this issue?

Thanks in Advance.

Speaking from a RedHat/Fedora point of view, the extension has nothing to do with the php.ini file, rather it is the php installation.

For whatever reason, there are two RPM packages in the distribution, php with mysql, and php without mysql, and the package without mysql is installed by default. (it was on our server, at least)

So if you have RedHat or Fedora, then this command should work: (as root, of course)
#yum install php-mysql

Then restart the httpd:
#service httpd restart
