Amazon EC2: How to enable MySQL and SQLITe

Question

The EC2 instance I have been given has php7 installed but without mysql and sqlite3 modules thus unable to use.

I tried sudo yum install php-pdo but it gave error:

amzn-main                                                | 2.1 kB     00:00     
amzn-updates                                             | 2.5 kB     00:00

Answer 1

You need the php7 packages. php-* currently installs PHP 5.6 extensions, that's why you get the dependency conflict error

eg

yum install php70-pdo

The various MySQL extensions are in the package php70-mysqlnd
