Can anyone help me?

[atsuyim]

i am trying every possible solution but i am missing something here 

[Kindred]

that error is what we see when someone tries to install on php v7

so, either your php version is being misreported or you don't actually have database support installed into the php handlers

[atsuyim]

@Kindred would you please please please help me out sorting out this problem. I am not sure what i should do next! You are my only hope....

[Illori]

did you build php with mysql support or mysqli support? SMF does not currently support mysqli.

[atsuyim]

@Illori i just use this command to install mysql

sudo apt-get install mysql-server

and about the php since ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS comes in default with php v7 i removed it and installed this

https://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/What_is_a_phpinfo()_file and take a look at what is going on. at this point it is a server issue and you would get better help on a server forum then here. also if you dont know how to secure a server from hacking etc i would not suggest you host your own forum.

@Illori  i am looking at it now and it looks normal in my php info. What exactly do you want me to look at?

[Illori]

the mysql that is loaded. but really at this point since we dont support server configs you need to take your phpinfo and go to a server support forum to figure out why mysql is not being detected.

Is there a section entitled 'mysql' or not? Because from what I've seen in this thread, PHP is loaded, the MySQL server is loaded but the library that lets PHP talk to MySQL is probably not.

(apt-get install php5-mysql)

BTW .... I had a lot of trouble witch my forum  ( SMF ) when Host Papa upgrade my server to version 7  off  php .

and it was just al yhat ... The forum part was not abble to manage my  MySQL 

So they show me how to go back to  php 5.6  ... and every tink is now  Perfect ! 

But i had  à Blackout of the forum for near 24 hrs ... and  a couple of flaw in the speed for 1 to 2 weeks ...

Seam that  SMF  and MySQL do not wrok with the brand new version of php 7.0 

[Arantor]

That's because the library 2.0.13 uses to talk to MySQL doesn't exist in PHP 7 and will be fixed in 2.0.14.
