This problem is resolved by running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure php5-mysql' and selecting the 'Yes' (the default) to all install questions.
Considering this, would this not suggest a problem with the way php5-mysql is configured by the LAMP installation routine? Apparently this is not a problem when packages are installed manually. -- Cacti produces no graphs - apache/syslog errors https://launchpad.net/bugs/77673 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
