I'm attempting to get the link shortening PHP scripts YOURLS working on my basic web server running Lubuntu 12.04.

I have a MySQL database created and PHP5 installed. When I attempt to access the administration interface for YOURLS in a browser, I am presented with the following message:

Fatal Error: ezSQL_mysql requires mySQL Lib to be compiled and or linked in to the PHP engine

I'm very new to MySQL and PHP, so I don't know how to approach this problem. Could you point me in the right direction on this?

(For a quick guide to setting up YOURLS, you can see this video to get the general idea.)

You need to ensure that the MySQL extension is loaded into PHP.ini, and has been compiled into PHP as well.
