如何在PHP7上启用MySQLi扩展（LAMP / CPANEL）？

Question

My server upgraded to PHP7 and now I am getting an error which reads "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress."

I have tried adding extension=php_mysqli.so to my PHP INI but that doesn't seem to help. I am on a LAMP with CentOS and Apache 2.4 with MariaDB 10.0... All was working before the update. \

php -m shows:
