sourcebans.smx Database failure: Could not find driver "mysql"
Hi I've been going at this for literally hours now.
I've currently running my game server on a VPS (Ubuntu 14.04 x64).
This is where I currently am.
-Meta mod 1.10 -Sourcemod 1.5.4-git4078.tar.gz -SourceBans 1.4.11
I've successfully completed the web installation. Although i am having trouble getting the game server to contact the webserver.
This is the output of the log.
L 06/12/2014 - 09:29:02: [sourcebans.smx] Database failure: Could not find driver "mysql". See FAQ: http://www.sourcebans.net/node/20
That link is dead not very usefull. Some people say to install apt-get install lib32z1 which I did (Do i need to configure it anyway?) which did not work unfortunatly.
From the VPS I did manage to connect to my external mysql database using the mysql installed.
Is there anything else I should do?
My databases file. I

This means the mysql extension is not running correctly. Check that the following file exists:
addons/sourcemod/extensions/dbi.mysql.ext.so
If it does, make sure it has execute-permissions (chmod u+x dbi.mysql.ext.so).
If that doesn't help, the next most common problem (from this thread) seems to be missing the 32-bit zlib library. Try installing it on your system:
32-bit Debian or Ubuntu: apt-get install zlib1g
64-bit Debian or Ubuntu: apt-get install lib32z1
32/64-bit Fedora: yum install zlib.i686
32/64-bit Mandriva: urpmi zlib1
32-bit SUSE: zypper install libz1
64-bit SUSE: zypper install libz1-32bit
If that doesn't work, try running ldd -d -r dbi.mysql.ext.so to search for missing dependencies, then google how to install the appropriate dependency for your system.
