I tried installing wordpress on ubuntu. I followed the steps in this tutorial literally verbatim.
It gives the error "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress." when I gave url
http://localhost/nkm/
and it gives me just the apache server page on giving
http://localhost/
I can't trace this error to its source. Could this community help?
Thanks in advance!
Just install
php5-mysql
package
