Mysqli and PDO are there, the old mysql_* api was deprecated in 5.something and (finally) removed in PHP 7. — JimL

@JimL That's true but this is happing on this line git.ispconfig.org/ispconfig/ispconfig3/blob/master/install/… — VeeeneX

@VeeeneX That's not your version, your error message is different. Try comparing it to the 3.0.5 branch on the top left. Long story short: You need a newer ispconfig version. <=3.0.5 uses mysql_* which is no longer present in PHP7, >=3.1 uses mysqli_*. — Kep

How old a version of ISPConfig is this? The outdated mysql module is indeed missing (and I think unsupported on PHP 7). Modern versions of ISP config require the mysqli module and specifically say so in the error message. — Chris

Yup guys, thanks I pulled git repo and now it works, so that means stable version on website doesn't work for 7. — VeeeneX

Stable version on website doesn't work for php 7.0. So here's the fix:

git clone https://git.ispconfig.org/ispconfig/ispconfig3.git
cd ispconfig3/install
php -q install.php

As ccKep mentioned it's fixed in https://git.ispconfig.org/ispconfig/ispconfig3/commit/f1926a01df8871cdacb29c97ffbfd7ff18d1610a

This answer isn't accurate. I also have the same exact error as yours, but your answer did not fix the issue.

@samayo That could be true, maybe try to provide more info on your problem.
