[Solved] The mysqli extension is missing. Please check your PHP configuration.
When I installed phpmyadmin after installing apache2, mysql-server, php5 on my Ubuntu 11.10 machine, I was presented with this error when I navigated to phpmyadmin page.

The solution to this is simple, though I had to scratch my head for sometime. You need to restart apache server before navigating to phpmyadmin page. How do you do that? Easy!
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
This solution works only if you have already installed mysql-server and php5-mysql. You may need to
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
if you hadn’t done that already and then restart the apache server.
And you are done!
Actually does not work….
If you have installed mysql-server then you need to run this command:
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
and then reload the server.
Hello this was the anwser i was lloking for !
