Ubuntu users in Ontario, Canada?

[geo]

Ok, I'm trying this before breakfast.

>From the list of things below in Synaptic, I have all but 3.
The 3 items I am missing are:

php-mysql
php-ldap
php-odbc

I was able to load within Synaptic only 2 of these. The third one - php-mysql - doesn't even appear in Synaptic when I type the name or search for it. I don't know why.

I clicked "apply" and that bit of voodoo went.

I even tried opening a terminal window and seeing if apt-get install would help? It didn't.

root at Dell1:~# apt-get install php-mysql
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package php-mysql
root at Dell1:~# 

Now I'll send this, restart the machine and see if it makes any difference. Then I'll go have breakfast and get to work.

Can you check synaptic.

Launch synaptic.

System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager

Click on "Search"

Type "apache2"

Scroll through the results list to see if the following packages are installed:

apache2
apache2.2-common
apache2-mpm-prefork
apache2-utils
libapache2-mod-php5             (very important)

Click on "Search" again

Type "php module"

Scroll through the result list to see if the following packages are installed:

libapache2-php-module         (same as above, very important)
php5-gd
php5-mysql
php5-ldap
php5-odbc

In your case, for Joomla! you'd only need php5-mysql.

Then, click on "Search" again.

Type "mysql"

libdbd-mysql-perl                   (not so important)
libmysqlclient15off
mysql-client
mysql-client-5.0
mysql-common
mysql-server
mysql-server-5.0
php-mysql

You may have been told to check these before in earlier posts, but
check them yourself.

If they are already installed, perhaps what you can do is remove them
and then re-install them.

That may re-create the folders that are missing from your installation.

It's clear that PHP configuration in apache is missing.

Good luck!

Andrew.
