Cannot start apache after upgrading to 12.04

[kdavies]

Version: 12.04

From terminal:

$ sudo /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl restart

httpd: Syntax error on line 53 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/libphp5.so into server: libmysqlclient.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is this an Apache2 installation from the repositories?

I wonder, because "/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf" is the default location for the configuration file from the developers of Apache, but distributions override the path and place httpd.conf under "/etc", to comply with the FileSystem Hierarchy Standard.

Other than that, it looks like the package "php5-mysql" might be missing from your installation.
