Enable MySql for PHP on NGINX after upgrade to Ubuntu 22

Ubuntu 22.04 MySQL Nginx PHP
Asked by kimblim

I just upgraded my ubuntu from 21 to 22, and everything seemed to go pretty well except for one thing. I have two PHP websites that use MySql databases, but I can’t get PHP to talk to MySql. Both services are up and running, but MySql is not listed when I do a php_info().

I went into /etc/php/7.4/fpm/php.ini and uncommented the following line:

extension=mysqli

and restarted php using

sudo service php7.4-fpm restart

which returned no errors. It also didn’t change anything in the output from the php_info()…

Am I missing something completely obvious here?
