libmysqlclient16 and webhosting software

Posted on June 23, 2013

Okay, I’m trying to run a MySQL plugin but getting the following issues: Failed (libmysqlclient_r.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)

I have tried the following in putty:

apt-get update apt-get install libmysqlclient16

But when trying the second command it gives the following error:

E: Unable to locate package libmysqlclient16

Also, does anyone know of some free easy to use webhosting software that I can easily setup on my cloud? I tried zpanel which looks awesome but they don’t support debain
