You may run into an issue where you installed the wrong php version as well. Make sure you have installed php5-**** when installing. I can provide you a dpkg-query of all the php and mysql packages I installed so you have an idea where you are at: Description +++-=====================================================-=====================================================-========================================================================================================================== ii libapache2-mod-php5 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (Apache 2 module) ii php5 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (metapackage) ii php5-cgi 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 server-side, HTML-embedded scripting language (CGI binary) ii php5-cli 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 command-line interpreter for the php5 scripting language ii php5-common 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 Common files for packages built from the php5 source ii php5-curl 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 CURL module for php5 ii php5-gd 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 GD module for php5 ii php5-ldap 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 LDAP module for php5 ii php5-mysql 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 MySQL module for php5 ii php5-snmp 5.3.2-1ubuntu4.9 SNMP module for php5 ii libdbd-mysql-perl 4.012-1ubuntu1 A Perl5 database interface to the MySQL database ii libmysqlclient-dev 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 MySQL database development files ii libmysqlclient16 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 MySQL database client library ii mysql-client-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 MySQL database client binaries ii mysql-client-core-5.1 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 MySQL database core client binaries ii mysql-common 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 MySQL database common files (e.g. /etc/mysql/my.cnf) ii mysql-server 5.1.41-3ubuntu12.10 MySQL database server (metapackage depending on the latest version) I ran into the same issue as you did, and I can't remember what I installed for this to work but please ensure you have the correct php version installed.
