Aha!  I see.  Maybe that merits an article in the wiki.

Trouble is, an article I could write will be from an apache point-of-view,
and will tell you you need the driver for your chosen database (in this case,
mysql) to be available and installed in the right place.  But how to do that
will depend on your package manager: it will involve something like
  package-manager install apr_dbd_mysql
which is fine for readers who can translate that to what works on their
system, but probably leave others none-the-wiser.

Yep.  That's a prerequisite for apr_dbd_mysql.

If it's already a PHP+mysql application then that's a perfectly good
solution (likely suboptimal if php isn't using apr_dbd, but that's a
different question).  If not then it's a horrible solution!
