如何在 Azure 中启用 pdo_mysql？

Question

I'm buildig a simple web application in Laravel 8 using PHP 7.4 and Azure web services. The app runs perfectly on my local machine, but once I try to push my app to Azure I'm getting a PHP 500 error for all pages where some sort of querying is needed.

It turns out that I'm missing a pdo_mysql driver that hasn't been enabled when setting up our Linux server. I've been looking through all the Azure documentation and I can't seem to find how to turn this pdo extension on.

Strange thing is Azure provides us two terminals: the SSH terminal and a Bash terminal (Kudo remote execution terminal). When I run

php -m

in the SSH, the pdo_mysql module does show up in the list. I can also migrate my tables within the SSH. But once I run the same

php -m

command in the Bash terminal, the module is not showing. Migrating tables in that terminal is also not possible, because it says I'm missing the pdo_mysql driver. The Oryxbuilder that builds my application after each git deployment also notices that I'm missing the pdo_mysql driver and returns the same error.

So how can I enable this module in Azure? Can anyone please help me?

First of all i'd check to see if its enabled in the php.ini file, often located at /etc/php/{version}/cli/php.ini, cli may also be cgi or apache2 .
