nginx/php/mysql/fastcgi issues when installing wordpress [solved]

Hi,

I'm having some trouble with running wordpress on nginx. I've been using nginx to host my rails app for awhile, but attempting to setup wordpress is giving me trouble.

When I go to wp-admin/install.php I get the error "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress." Naturally, I googled this and uncommented "extension mysql.so" and "extension mysqli.so". Restarted nginx and restarted mysql, same error.

I'm getting no errors in the nginx/logs/error.log and the request in the access.log looks like this:

x.x.x.x - - [29/Feb/2012:09:13:00 -0500] "GET /wp-admin/install.php HTTP/1.1" 200 114 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_8; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Safari/531.21.10"

I configured the nginx.conf with defaults from [http://wiki.nginx.org/WordPress].

php.ini: http://pastebin.com/7gx5d00C
nginx.conf: http://pastebin.com/ka5nQ3x3
fastcgi.conf: http://pastebin.com/WqDQ7Lp2

Has anyone ran into anything like this before?

Did you restart php-fpm (or whatever fcgi spawner your're using), too?

Argh, just did it and it fixed my issues. Thanks so much, no idea how that slipped from my mind.
