Ubuntu – Unable to locate package php5-thesqlnd-ms

MySQLPHP

Using Ubuntu Server 16
PHP5.5 FPM
PHP Version 5.5.35-7+donate.sury.org~xenial+1

Trying to install WordPress:
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.

I have un-commented sql lines from php.ini of FPM 5.5

Trying to install mysqlnd-ms:

sudo apt-get install  php5-mysqlnd-ms
sudo apt-get install  php5.5-mysqlnd-ms
sudo apt-get install  php7-mysqlnd-ms
sudo apt-get install  php-mysqlnd-ms

Getting error:

E: Unable to locate package php5-mysqlnd-ms

Best Answer

I tried sudo apt-get install php-mysqlnd and it said I need to explicitly choose one to install. So this worked for me:

sudo apt-get install php5.6-mysql

Don't forget to restart apache
