在 Linux AMI EC2 实例上启用 mysqli 安装 phpMyAdmin 5.0.2

Question

I am trying to enable the mysqli php extension on my Linux AMI EC2 Instance so I can access phpMyAdmin 5.0.2. The current version of php that was installed is 7.2. When I go to access try to access phpMyAdmin console, it says it is missing the mysqli extension. I ran the following command to check to see if it is enabled and it just comes out blank:

php -m | grep mysqli

So, I successfully installed mysqli by running:

sudo su yum install yum install php72-mysqli -y

I then successfully restarted the Apache server using the following command:

sudo su service httpd restart

I then ran the php -m | grep mysqli php -m | grep mysqli to see if mysqli was enabled and the command does not produce anything showing it is enabled.

Can anyone help me enable the mysqli php extension?

Answer 1

I was able to enable mysqli by restarting the mysqld daemon by inputting:

sudo su service mysqld restart

The phpMyAdmin page came up properly.
