Database connection error (1): The MySQL adapter 'mysqli' is not available

[alejoferguson]

Hello!
Every time i load my website it shows this message:
"Database connection error (1): The MySQL adapter 'mysql' is not available."

I went to the configuration.php file and add the mysql
public $dbtype = 'mysql';

Then i load the site and get the following error:
"Database connection error (1): The MySQL adapter 'mysqli' is not available."

So i add the mysql extension in the php.ini file:
extension = php_mysqli.dll
extension = php_mysql.dll

But the issues is still. My Php Version is 5.4.45


Here is my website: http://designfoodies.com/

What was changed in the configuration before this error started? Was this Joomla 2.5 site working before?

Is this a Windows server on your workstation, 'localhost'? If not, talk to your host.

Im not sure what was changed before they gave me the hosting and it was already this way. So, you think is a new joomla version that affect this?

extension = php_mysqli.dll
extension = php_mysql.dll

You have a Linux server. Linux does not run DLL files, they belong to the Windows platform.

Talk to your host, GoDaddy, and they should be able to add the missing MySQL support library.

Otherwise, if you are still running Joomla! 2.5, it is high time to start planning migration to a supported version.
