John, I don't use Debian, but rather Ubuntu (18.04). The package names should be similar enough, if not identical. You will need PHP's MySQL module (likely `php-mysql`). You can see a list using: `apt-cache search mysql | grep php` As for the MySQL server, you'll want to install `mysql-server`. -- Karl Wilbur 513-322-2481 karl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Mon, Jan 21, 2019 at 1:12 PM Linux for blind general discussion < blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I've installed apache2, and it works.
