I'm getting a fail on install WP task - Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress

I have a multisite trellis install. During development I was trying some things and destroyed the droplet.

After doing a new vagrant provision, I keep getting the error (Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress)

What I tried to do, was change the subfolder install to a subdomain and after this wasn’t succesful, I decided to return back to the previous setup. I even tried installing without multisite to no avail. I also tried installing mysql-server as per some recommendations

Debug output basically says:

Does anyone have more input on it? Could it be:

  • that I updated trellis cli to 1.2.2
  • potential conflict, that mysql is started by lampp (doesn’t change a thing if I switch it off)
  • problem in mysql config, since I can’t start it without lampp

Any input to debug this issue is greatly appreciated.
