Phpmyadmin: The mysqli extension is missing

Question

I installed apache2 and php in /usr/local by compiling files.
I installed mysql and phpmyadmin by the following commands:

sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get -y install phpmyadmin

Phpmyadmin is not running and this shows:

The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration. <a href="Documentation.html#faqmysql" target="documentation"><img class="icon" src="./themes/pmahomme/img/b_help.png" width="11" height="11" alt="Documentation" title="Documentation" /></a>

But i installed php with --mysqli:

./configure --with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs --with-mysql --enable-maintainer-zts --with-mysqli

Solution

You just need to type this command which will enable your extension mysqli and then restart your apache2 server. This will help your server to work:

sudo apt-get install php5-mysqlnd
sudo service apache2 restart
