ubuntu - phpmyadmin issuing a fatal error for PMA_DBI_num_rows()

Question

Doing a simple phpmyadmin install on a new server and I get the white screen.

Going into the apache logs I see:

[Wed Jun 19 23:20:57 2013] [error] [client 67.154.118.163] PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function PMA_DBI_num_rows() in /var/www/phpmyadmin/libraries/navigation/Nodes/Node.class.php on line 408

All I have done on the server is install apache, php, mysql, and the php-mysql module...

No idea whats going on :(

Answer 1

check your php5-mysql php module if it is installed correctly (maybe you forgot apache restart?)

had the same issue and after checking php-mysql module again and fixing it, this error vanished
