Topic : Ampps error mysqli adapter is not available after Ampps relaunch

Posted By: trancecrystal on March 26, 2017, 6:14 pm

I use macOS Sierra 10.12.3 and Ampps 3.6. I've set php version to 7.0 in ampps control panel, restart apache and everything is working properly. But when I quit Ampps (Cmd + q) and then start it again I get an error "Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error: The MySQL adapter mysqli is not available". Ampps control panel shows that Apache is ON, MySQL is ON, PHP version is set to 7.0. If I add/remove any php extension and restart apache, everything is fine again. Question is why ampps doesn't start php in right way after relaunch. Any ideas?

Figured this out. So... When I relaunch ampps, it deletes php.ini file in /Applications/Ampps/php/etc and doesn't create a new one. So until you not turn on/off any of php extensions and restart apache, there will be no php.ini file in etc folder.
Please, fix it.
