Enable PDO module on CENTOS 6.9 using EasyApache4 - php

Question

I have installed 7.1.7-1.1.1.cpanel and 7.0.21-1.1.1.cpanel on my VPS server running on Centos 6.9 using EasyApache4. I have a laravel API and an angular4 app that I want to run on the server but I am having problems getting PHP to run properly. After installing the site using git I get an error;
could not find driver (SQL: select * from site_menu_placements where
active = 1)
I have checked error_log and I see the following which is not making much sense to me;

I think the error corresponds to not having php_pdo_mysql.dll running properly. I have checked phpinfo() and see that the main php.ini file is located at /opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc I have tried to load the PDO modules in this file but with no effect even when I have;
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
extension=pdo_sqlite.so
extension=mysql.so
When I look on the phpinfo() page I can see that there is a section called 'PDO' but in this section I see just sqlite in the PDO drivers row. I believe I should see mysql as well.
When I run php artisan migrate via ssh I get the following errors;
[Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOException] could not find driver
[PDOException] could not find driver
I think the package that's supposed to contain the pdo mysql driver is ea-php71-php-pdo-7.1.7-1.1.6.cpanel.x86_64 I have used rpm -ql ea-php71-php-pdo-7.1.7-1.1.6.cpanel.x86_64 to find out where it is installed and I get the following;
/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc/php.d/20-pdo.ini
/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc/php.d/20-sqlite3.ini
/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/etc/php.d/30-pdo_sqlite.ini
/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/lib64/php/modules/pdo.so
/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/lib64/php/modules/pdo_sqlite.so
/opt/cpanel/ea-php71/root/usr/lib64/php/modules/sqlite3.so
So the pdo_mysql is missing.

Answer 1

Follow the instructions:
Step-1: Run on command line pecl install pdo
Step-2: if it is already installed just edit /etc/php.ini
Step-3: Add the following lines
; Extension PDO
extension=pdo.so
2nd Way :
First install php-mysql
sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql
then enable the module
sudo phpenmod pdo_mysql
and restart apache
sudo service apache2 restart
Hope it will helpful.
