Question

With this binary (PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.26) :

application/x-httpd-suphp="php:/usr/bin/php-cgi

I have no problem.

But when I try to use this one which is an higher version of php (PHP 5.5.38) :

application/x-httpd-suphp="php:/usr/local/bin/php-cgi"

I get a problem on my Cakephp 2.x application :

Error: A Database connection using "Mysql" was missing or unable to connect. The database server returned this error: Selected driver is not enabled

Error: Mysql driver is NOT enabled

Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app/View/Errors/missing_connection.ctp

Stack Trace

Does someone have an idea to resolve this ?

Thank you,

Check in the php.ini of your PHP5.5 installation weather the MySQL driver is loaded:

extension=mysqli.so
extension=mysql.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

However, the original MySQL extension is in PHP5.5 deprecated, and will generate E_DEPRECATED errors when connecting to a database. Instead, use the MySQLi or PDO_MySQL extensions.
