Hi,

Have you installed php-mysqli as the error message suggests?

Regards Stuart

[dm@…]

No I haven't performed the php-mysqli install. Wanted to report the bug to see if there was any previously known fix process prior to making any changes.

Regards Jon

[Stuart Auchterlonie]

TBH there isn't anything we can do about it. If you are using packages it's up to packagers to specify the required deps, if you are using source install, it's up to you to install the required deps.

I'll close this now, if you still have issues after installing the relevant deps, feel free to reopen

Regards Stuart

Not sure I understand the installing of dependancies as this is Mythbuntu.

Installed php-mysqli: sudo apt-get install php-mysqli

The result after is the same originating error. Accessing ​http://host/mythweb results in the error to install php-mysqli

Using Mythbuntu Control Centre updated the repositories selection to from .27 to .28. Searched for new updates. Didn't locate any. Rebooted host. Now functionality is restored. Didn't see any changes made. Chalk this up to FM. Or running the php-mysqli install, and now rebooting might have been the fix, but unconfirmed.

Please close case.
