    I am configuring WordPress for the first time. I am installing WordPress on Manjaro Linux. I get the following error message when I attempt to run WordPress with:

    $ php -S localhost:2222

    “Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress. Please check that the mysqli PHP extension is installed and enabled.”

    The Web site is working (http://localhost:2222/), but I get the above error message.

    I believe I have mysql/mariadb configured correctly.

    Can anyone help? Thanks.

    You still need to install the PHP extension for the connection between PHP and MySQL. The package is often installed with the name php-mysql or similar. I can’t tell you how this works with Manjaro Linux, as we support WordPress here in the forum and not server systems. If you have any questions, please contact a community that supports Manjaro Linux.
