Unable to locate package libapache2-mod-auth-mysql

Question

Trying to install this package on Ubuntu using sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-auth-mysql, but I get the message in the title. Why and how can I fix it?

Solution 1

The package has been deleted in Ubuntu 15.10 (since it was deleted upstream in Debian 8). The module itself is apparently unmaintained, and mod_authn_dbd or mod_authz_dbd should be used instead.

Solution 2

From here: phpmyadmin not working due to missing mbstring extention

sudo apt-get install php-mbstring php7.0-mbstring php-gettext
sudo service apache2 restart
