Do I need to compile PHP each time.

[Himanshu]

I have installed litespeed on a VPS (centos 6.7 x64). When I tried to use WordPress it gives me error.

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

So I installed php-mysql
However the error still does not go.

I learned that I need to move php.ini to /usr/local/lib and to add the entries for php-mysql. Please see the attached screenshot.

However the error does not go. Do I need to compile PHP? If so how?

Also when I do php-i or php-v I get the following error.

[root@vps public_html]# php -v
-bash: php: command not found
[root@vps public_html]# php -i
-bash: php: command not found

Yes, you can compile your own PHP binary, Or, you can use ready to use RPM packages.
REMI or our own repository.
