A Twist on “Your PHP installation… missing the MySQL extension…”

jacobreed — Sun, 07 Jan 2024 06:36:05 +0000

I’ve found several similar entries on this forum but I think this one is different. Or, at least, I don’t have enough wp/php experience to understand how’s the same.

SOME BACKSTORY THAT MAY BE HELPFUL (skip to below for a TL;DR, but I’m always seeing that people don’t give enough info at the beginning)

Circa 2014, I had an html site installed at jacobreed.net and had several instances of WP on folders within that site. One of them was jacobreed.net/everythingmustgo

Somewhere along the way, I installed a wordpress site at jacobreed.net and thought I had forever lost access to the everythingmustgo wordpress folder because it stopped showing up.

At the time all my hosting was done through MediaTemple, and in 2023 GoDaddy finally phased all that out to replace it with their garbage hosting/customer service etc. and I am moving to a new host, but before deleting my hosting, I want to do my best to back up all my stuff. In doing so, I discovered both the files AND database for this wordpress install still existed.

I’ve already switched the domain and DNS entries for jacobreed.net to my new host (KnownHost) so rather than move the files for everythingmustgo to a subdomain of jacobreed.net, I put it at everythingmustgo.sixminuteproject.com – a subdomain of one of my sites that is still hosted at GoDaddy and still has nameservers there too.

My end goal is that I want to get the website functioning again so that I can run a proper migration and backup before closing out my GoDaddy hosting. What I believe to be the first step is…

TL;DR – MY PHP / DATABASE ISSUE

I’ve moved all of the wordpress files that were on the old location to this new subdomain, but obviously they are no longer connected to the database. When I try to load the site I get the following message:

“Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.”

After 2 hrs with GoDaddy’s “support” they told me they “updated the php” which resulted in the home page loading, but nothing else. If I tried to click any links on the site, it would just download a weird eight character file name. I was able to load the wp-login.php page, but when I entered the username and password and clicked login, it just downloaded a “wp-login.php” file

They wouldn’t help me any more than that unless I upgraded to a $1k/year wordpress premium plan – which I absolutely won’t be doing.

Searching around this forum, I found documentation about changing your site’s URL, so I added those lines to my wp-config file, which made the home page disappear, and reverted back to the original error message.

I guess that “TL;DR” was still TL but hopefully this is enough info!

I appreciate any help or advice anyone has. I was pretty fluent w/WP/php/etc in 2014 but haven’t done anything w/it in a decade and am pretty ignorant now.

I removed AIOFirewall but it seems to have altered my config files

Brego.com — Thu, 21 Sep 2023 10:07:40 +0000

At one point I installed AIO Firewall but decided to uninstall. Recently this became an issue when I changed my database passwords within Cyberpanel. I assumed these passwords would be within wp-config.php, but when I went there, I found:

// Begin AIOWPSEC Firewall
if (file_exists(‘/home/brego.com/public_html/aios-bootstrap.php’)) {
include_once(‘/home/brego.com/public_html/aios-bootstrap.php’);
}
// End AIOWPSEC Firewall

In any case I’m wondering why is this in there if the plugin is removed, and it seems my site is now down because the password changes aren’t being recognized as usual.

Fatal Error with Wordfence (plugins disabled)

jorigoh — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 06:32:44 +0000

Hi Team,

I have this error:
Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required ‘/home/customer/www/joriphotography.com/public_html/wordfence-waf.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php74/pear’) in?Unknown?on line?0

From my website joriproductions.com

I am using namecheap, siteground & WordPress.
The issue occur when i decide to “migrate” my siteground website joriphotography.com into joriproductions.com with the method here:
https://www.siteground.com/tutorials/getting-started/change-sites-domain-name/

It looks to be the easiest because I have an empty domain (joriproductions.com) and hence transferring from my then domain, joriphotography.com to the new one seems to be the best.

However, my wordfence plugin was on when doing the transfer. Now there is a fatal error on joriproductions.com

Would like help here.

Regards,
Jori

LocalHost Migration Not Connecting

sheathompson — Fri, 24 Apr 2020 01:50:27 +0000

So I’m trying to transfer my wordpress website from my hosting company to my localhost to work on it offline for quicker response times in development. I’m brand new to this, but I followed several guides on how to do it and have re-done it 3 times from scratch to make sure I didn’t make a mistake. I did not make a mistake from what I’ve gathered so please enlighten me.

I exported the mySQL database from phpMyAdmin, and I also backed up/downloaded the public_html folder where my site resides. I am using MAMP Pro on a mac to host my localhost server. I started my server, and followed their guide on where to import my website files to. I created a new database, then imported the exported mySQL database from my current live site. Added the user privileges and linked the database in wp-config.php. When I try to load the site, it gives me the error “ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED” and goes nowhere. I made sure that I changed the options file in the mySQL database to have the correct site URL and home URL which is https://localhost/**name of site folder**

Still nothing.

I did another install fresh of wordpress using the same method, and minus the importing of the mySQL databse, and the site loads up fine. I can create my wordpress site and it all functions properly. As soon as I add the new files to the fresh install of wordpress and change the mySQL database over to the imported one from my livesite – the same result happens, the site seems broken and parses “ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED”.

Please help!! It would be way better for my workflow to work on this site offline as response times would be greatly improved. Any advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Web host unable to create MyCQL db in 5.7 after 5.1 waqs deleted.

griehund — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 19:44:41 +0000

I have updated my WP site to 5.3 and my PHP to 7.2.6. I backed up my MyCQL db and deleted the 5.1.55 version as instructed by yahoo. Now Yahoo tells me that they cannot use the back up to rebuild a db in version 5.7 and that I need to transfer the files manually. I have all the backed up files in MyPHPadmin readily accessible. How do I manually transfer them and where do I transfer them to? I can export them to my desktop, then what? This site is old and dormant (presently down). I use it to work on updates and fixes before I try them on my main site which is essential to my non profit organization. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Where in the SQL database is the gallery image data stored?

cudak888 — Thu, 22 Feb 2018 18:45:49 +0000

I’m presently migrating a site from FooGallery to MaxGalleria by batch replacing SQL entries.

Perhaps this is a bit unconventional, but since I have to migrate over 150 existing galleries (with anywhere from 10-100 photos per gallery), it makes sense.

This said, while I have had no problem moving over the galleries themselves (replacing post_type from FooGallery to MaxGalleria in wp_posts does that exceptionally well), moving the photos within each gallery has become a bit of a problem.

I’ve had no trouble locating the individual entries for each FooGallery – they store the per-gallery image data under foogallery_attachments as a meta_key. However, I have gone so far as to create a clean copy of WordPress with just MaxGalleria installed, and I still can’t find where MaxGalleria is storing its per-gallery image data.

Can you help out here? In the worst of cases, I’m considering migrating the FooGalleries to NextGEN using SQL, and then importing NextGEN into MaxGalleria with your import tool.

Please do let me know. Thank you!

Im really not sure which worpdress version i am using because I took it down months ago.

How to move existing WP site to Google Cloud Platform myphpadmin?

AZsakay — Sun, 24 Sep 2017 11:48:15 +0000

I recently migrated to Google Cloud Platform (GCP)which has an option to deploy WP very easily but automatically gives you myphpadmin. The problem is – when I set up Mamp it automatically creates a new myphpadmin,so

1. How can I connect up MAMP to the existing myphpadmin, the one given to me by GCP when I deployed WP, so I can increase the file size via php.ini. Currently it is set at 2MB and I can’t do anything on my WP site.

2. OR, how if I build my WP site on localhost:8889, how I can I transfer it to GCP myphpadmin?

Does this make sense? Whilst there seems to be some information on this, it’s not very easy to follow. Anyone’s assistance would be much appreciated

Using MAMP and trying to set-up WordPress.

guymonahan — Fri, 10 Jun 2016 22:40:26 +0000

I have WordPress loaded into the htdocs file, but it doesn’t work without a database. I have myPHPadmin loaded also in the htdocs file, but when I select WordPress on the MAMP server it hangs-up. I think I have followed the instructions carefully for loading a database on a local server, but something is not right. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
