Asked by szskdgi
I found that my project uses php7.1 from phpinfo(). And from other forums, I found that uncommenting php_pdo_mysql.so from /etc/php/php7.1/apache2/php.ini and restarting the server solves the issue. But in my php.ini, there is only php_pdo_mysql.dll. Since it is a linux server, I know dll files don’t work. How do i install pdo?

Hello,
If you’re running apache2, you can try to install the missing PHP module using the following command:
If the system is unable to locate this package then it’s simply not available in the repositories that you have configured on the server.
If this is the case you can enable the Ondrej PHP repository by typing:
Then you can try to install PDO again:
If you’re still having issues, then my suggestion will be to check this article on DigitalOcean’s website and check the PHP part of it. Everything is explained really well and you should be able to sort this out:
