I have downloaded MySQL using this command:

wget --content-disposition http://www.mybb.com/download/latest -O mybb.zip && unzip mybb.zip "Upload/*" && mv Upload/* . && rm -Rf Upload mybb.zip && mv inc/config.default.php inc/config.php && chmod -R 0777 cache uploads inc/settings.php inc/config.php

This from here

I am using Debian 7 x64 with MySQL version 5.5.33-0+wheezy1 and PHP version 5.4.4-14+deb7u7 with Apache2.

I have followed the tutorials here and it still doesn't work. the PHP.ini file contains:

extension=php_mysql.dll
extension=php_mysqli.dll
extensions=mysql.so

All the other checks pass.

Make sure you have you have PHP MySQL extension installed.

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

Edit: Your php.ini should contain this:

extension=mysql.so
