Question

I installed everything separately  Apache  PHP  MySQL and phpMyAdmin  and do not use a compilation  everything works fine till now except phpMyAdmin    The problem I am experiencing is  that the error message states that the  MySQL extension is missing   as soon as I try to call up    localhost phpmyadmin index php  And when I call up   localhost phpmyadmin setup index php  I have two messages where I do not know if it is supposed to be like that       Bzip2 compression and decompression requires functions  bzopen    bzcompress  which are unavailable on this system    and      Zip decompression requires functions  zip open  which are unavailable   on this system    Any suggestions

Installing bzip2 and zip PHP extensions solved my issue in Ubuntu   sudo apt-get install php7 0-bz2 sudo apt-get install php7 0-zip   Use php you version - extension  to install and enable any missing modules that is required in the phpmyadmin readme

Just as others stated you need to remove the     from    extension php mysql dll  and   extension php mysqli dll  in your php ini to enable mysql and mysqli extensions  But MOST IMPORTANT  of all  you should set the extension dir in your php ini to point to your extensions directory  The default most of the time is  ext   You should change it to the absolute path to the extensions folder  i e  if you have your xampp installed on drive C  then  C  xampp php ext is the absolute path to the ext folder  and It should work like a charm

At first make sure you have mysql installed properly  You can ensure it just by checking that whether you can access mysql using mysql command promp  So if you mysql is working then probably it is not loading  For that follow the steps given below  First of all  you must find your php ini  It could be anywhere but if you create a small php file with the    lt  php phpinfo      gt    script it will tell you where it is  Just look at the path of loaded configuration file  Common places include  etc apache    etc php4 apache2 php ini   etc php5 apache2 php ini or even  usr local lib php ini for Windows it may be C  Users username PHP php ini   Edit your server   s php ini and look for the following line  Remove the         from the start of the line and restart Apache  Things should work fine now    extension mysql so   should become  extension mysql so   For windows it will be    extension mysql dll   should become  extension mysql dll

I had a similar issue  but it didn t help to add extension mysql so in my php ini  It turned out that the mysql so file was not in my extension folder nor anywhere else on my machine  Solved this by downloading the php source and building the extension manually and then copying it into the extension folder

You need to put the full path in the php ini when loading the mysql dll  i e  -     extension c  php54 ext php mbstring dll   extension c  php54 ext php mysql dll   Then you don t need to move them to the windows folder

Some linux distributions have a php mysql and php mysqli package to install

Your installation is missing some php modules  there should be a list of required modules in the phpmyadmin readme  If you recently enabled the modules  try restarting the apache service   daemon   Edit  As it seems  there is no single  enable these modules  in the docs  so enable either mysql or mysqli in your php ini  you might need to install it first    The two messages are not important if you do not intend to upload or download compressed file within phpMyAdmin  If you do  enable the zlib and   or bz2 modules
