MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

[sulamo]

Anyone know how to fix this error? 

The full error is "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress."

@sulamo if you are on a cpanel plan, you should go to "Select PHP version" under the Software section. Then you can see what extensions you have enabled, and you can enable/disable the ones you want.

In your case you should enable mysql and mysqli.

Hope it helps!
