The error that MyBB is parsing is that there is no DB extension, but there is a DB extension on my computer. There is MySQL (proof: http://i.imgur.com/1IBJ3Pv.png )

Here is my PHP version: http://i.imgur.com/azfQdPS.png

I run Linux Mint 16 "Petra" (XFCE).

So if anyone could help me, please do.

mysqladmin -u root -p create DB_NAME

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

It sounds like it's referring to the database PHP extension (e.g. php5-mysql, php5-pgsql, php5-sqlite). You need to install one separately in addition to MySQL itself.

Did you create a Database for it?

mysqladmin -u root -p create DB_NAME

Edit: I read that wrong..

sudo apt-get install php5-mysql

Then restart apache2
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
