Hi,

Please mention the Ubuntu release. Paste the output of following command.


~$ lsb_release -a

Here is a solution for the mentioned problem, assuming the release is 16.04 or above, but i am not sure how it will effect your current configuration. A backup is advised before any changes are made.

Hi,

My previous link was related to the query
i resolved the problem but now i have new problem

what mean the error

MySQL Extension is missing
i need to fix it please

I thought you have some problem with MySQL DB server. PHP is often used with this server and that link could help you to sort out the problem related to MySQL.

Anyways, the query related to your current problem here is a solution

But before proceeding, read the warning given by GordonM (https://stackoverflow.com/users/477127/gordonm).
