How can I enable PHP's mysqli extension in a Nitrous.io box?

I cannot manage to install/enable the mysqli extension in my PHP-Nitrous.io-box. Reading the phpinfo() output, I see that mysql and PDO are available, but not mysqli.

Help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PHPInfo() raw output

Solution

  • Looks like the solution is to uninstall the current version and install again from source. It may take some time, around 15 - 20 minutes.

    parts uninstall php5

    parts install php5 --source

    wait for it...

    parts stop apache2

    parts start apache2

    check with your phpinfo()

    PS: this is a temporary solution. mysqli extension may have been already implemented globally.
