What do I have to do to enable the Mysql database in the configuration?
Only options are PDO::SQLite and SQLIte3.
I am using PHP 7.0, Serendipity 2.1.1, new install.

Do you have compiled or installed a PHP with mySQL extension?
You can check for that by using a file called, for example,
phpinfo.php, containing only this:
When viewing that file in your browser, look for sections called "mysql" or "mysqli".

Thanks for the reply.
Below is a screenshot of the relevant phpinfo section.
I have other php applications using mysql on this install without any issue.

At the very top of that page, there's a section “Configure Command”. Does that contain '--with-mysqli' in your phpinfo()?

That appears to be the issue.
I am recompiling with mysqli option.
