PHPMyAdmin Install Script fails

Virtualmin
1

Running VirtualMin3.54 Pro on Ubuntu Server 7.10 with PHP5 - the mysql module is installed and enabled in php.ini

When running the PHPMyAdmin install script I receive the following error:

PHP module mysql is required …

Module is not available even after installation!

What am I missing?

I just bought this system tonight, and I can’t even get the main system installed. So take what I suggest with a grain of salt.

But if I were to venture a guess, it looks like MySQL server is not installing, or at least failing to be recognized.

Sorry if I’m not any help, still trying to even understand.

Thanks,
Jason
