Solved NextCloud Command Line Installation Error MySQL Not Supported

[scottalanmiller]

Working with the NextCloud installation instructions here: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/11/admin_manual/installation/command_line_installation.html

sudo -u apache php occ maintenance:install --database "mysql" --database-name "nextcloud" --database-user "root" --database-pass "" --admin-user "admin" --admin-pass "superdupercrazysecretepasswordthatnooneknows"
Nextcloud is not installed - only a limited number of commands are available

                                       
  [InvalidArgumentException]          
  Database <mysql> is not supported.  

Why would MySQL not be supported? It's the database from the example.

If you see this, check your logs, I found this in mind, it was php-pdo missing. Actually it was not missing, but httpd had not been restarted since it was installed.
