Hey all,

Running an Asus RT-N16, with a 2 TB Nas...

Firmware: DD-WRT v24-sp2 (05/24/13) kingkong

Wanted to setup wordpress to start my own blog... wooo

Reading whats required I started to get to work, I already had web services working, and a cheaply made website setup with DDNS and everything so I figured it be pretty quick..

figured need mysql, so I ran ipkg-opt install mysql, sure enough i check the process and its runnign, even though it didn't ask me to confure any settings just did so..

Then I had to renable php on my lighttpd settings, and eventually got it to work, with a basic php test page, but when i went into the wordpress install page it just gave me this notice...

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

I'm guessin i need to setup php5 or something to get mysql to work with lighttpd?

To anyone who actually read this thanks,

But as usual DDWRT being so different from most other Linux Distro (for good reason running on specialized devices) but lacking in good documentation.

Basically I created a new post on how to get the most up-to-date repos, and which command is suggested to be used over the other.. check that fourm out to help me get on the right track, until I can get the lastest version of MySQL and PHP/PHP5 configured properly with lighttpd, I may just setup a LLMP stack on a proper Linux Distro like Ububuntoo or OpenSUSE on a laptop for now. Thanks.

In the even I do manage to get it to work, I'll write up a blog on how to configure a LLMP stack on DDWRT thanks!
