PDOException “could not find driver”
(42 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
Just started exploring Laravel.
I created a fresh project from start. When trying to run php artisan migrate command I am getting this error:
Illuminate\Database\QueryException : could not find driver (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = laravel and table_name
= migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE')
at C:\xampp\htdocs\TestLaravelApp\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Database\Connection.php:665
661| // If an exception occurs when attempting to run a query, we'll format the error
662| // message to include the bindings with SQL, which will make this exception a
663| // lot more helpful to the developer instead of just the database's errors.
664|
catch (Exception $e) {
> 665| throw new QueryException(
666| $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e
667| );
668| }

Answer 1

Finally was able to figure it out my self. While changing configuration in php.ini file which is in xampp folder I also modified the file in php installed location .ini file. reverting back the changes worked.

Answer 2

You need to have a module called pdo_mysql. Check in php.ini file
Try uncommenting this line from php.ini. JUst remove ; from that line save file and restart your server.
extension=pdo_mysql
Try adding this line in php.ini file
extension=php_pdo_mysql.so
