I tried sudo yum install php54w-pdo --enablerepo=remi to install PDO driver in centos 6.
It installed successfully. But exception is raised by laravel
PDOException in Connector.php line 47: could not find driver
Did everything i can. Tried different solution from stackoverflow. but didn't work.
You may also need to install pdo driver for the database you are using. php-pdo alone is not sufficient as it is mostly abstraction layer and to be able to connect to particular database it yet needs a right driver (i.e. php54w-mysqlnd which would provide pdo-mysql driver).

I am facing a strange error with laravel under ubuntu using PostgreSql.
Its NOT a PDOException. The database migration is successful so all driver are set and PDO connection is also established. But why this error?
Didn't find much about it in google. I am attaching the screenshot.
This is NOT homestead rather own lamp stack.
Edit:
There is no problem even with tinker

I resolved this issue using the following command:-
sudo apt install php7.4-pgsql (replace 7.4 with your php version)
To check PHP version use: php -v
For more info visit: https://www.php.net/manual/en/pgsql.installation.php
Please check php info and serach "PDO Driver for PostgreSQL" or "pdo_pgsql" after run the above command
keywords :- for pgadmin, pgsql, postgresql, PDO Driver for PostgreSQL, pdo_pgsql #vasimraja
Please check the default key in app/config/database.php
For postgres, default should be 'default' => 'postgres',
So basically I have been always developing with PHP under Windows with the WAMP package and I never had any trouble.
Now, I am trying to transition to Linux (Mint). Everything is well, except for the PDO extension which cannot find the MySQL driver. In fact, it states not having any available drivers at all.
First, I installed Apache:
sudo apt-get install apache2
Then, PHP:
sudo apt-get install php5
MySQL for PHP (I am not exactly sure this was required):
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
Finally, the command line interface for PHP:
sudo apt-get install php5-cli
Note that I had installed MySQL a while ago for other purposes.
Everything else is working well. The server starts, runs, executes scripts. I am also able to create an instance of PDO, but then it throws a PDOException stating that it cannot find the MySQL driver. The code is typical of a PDO initialization :
$pdo = new PDO("mysql:host=127.0.0.1;db=testdb", "root", "");
I looked at the phpinfo() and for the value PDO I see no drivers. However, I see the line MySQL driver for PDO followed by the names of its authors, but I cannot tell if it guarantees the presence of the driver. Notice that I also see the authors of all the other drivers (SQLite, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc.).
The command php -m (which, according to the php --help, lists all modules compiled with PHP) also clearly indicates that both PDO and pdo_mysql are installed.
My search returned a lot of results about the extensions pdo.so and pdo-mysql.so. I have been trying to reference them into the php.ini file without success. It would probably have a higher chance of success if I actually had these files, but so far I have been unable to find them.
So, here we are, about five hours later, with me being completely stuck.
Thank you.
Today some of my packages in Ubuntu was upgraded automatically, and I didn't think of what was actually going on.
Ever since the update, my local dev-environment doesn't work anymore. First of by not working was mod_rewrite which I had to enable again using a2enmod. But now I've run into an issue that I can't seem to resolve. My application can't seem to find the PDO MySQL driver. When running the application, I get the error failed to open the DB connection: could not find driver.
This is strange, since if I check the phpinfo() the PDO drivers do support MySQL, and the socket path is a valid path.
pdo_mysql client API version is 5.5.35 according to php info.
PHP5: 5.5.3
MySQL: 5.5.35
Connectionstring
mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=MyDB;port=3306
What could be causing this?
The PHP MySQL driver (mysql.so/mysqli.so) and the PHP PDO MySQL driver (pdo_mysql.so) are two separate modules. You need both of them for PDO functionality with MySQL.
It is quite possible that one of them is missing or of an incompatible version - I do not have an Ubuntu system at hand, but on my RPM-based Linux distribution there is a separate package for each module (php-mysql/php-mysqli and php-pdo_mysql). I also expect PDO to be using the newer mysqli.so driver, rather than the obsolete mysql.so one, so you should verify that one is installed as well.
Try this:
sudo apt-get install -y php5-mysql php5 mysql-client
This should automatically restart your apache if any of the dependencies aren't installed.
Try using vagrant.
Dependencies can be isolated, upgraded and downgraded when you like.
Vagrant
I am new to Symfony and would like to try it, but I can't seem to find out what the deal is with this "POD Driver" is and how to install it. I am running Ubuntu Server 12.04.
I think you mean PDO driver? This a generic layer for database connections and should be already installed with the specific database driver.
for mysql it's installed with the php5-mysql package.
Does the MySQL-server and PHP5-MySQLi version have to match in order for a connection to be possible? I'm currently receiving the error below: I am running BSD.
"Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'could not find driver'..."
Here is the the connection info:
$info = "mysql:dbname=myDB;host=localhost";
$user = "dbUser";
$pw = "somePW";
return(new PDO($info, $user, $pw));
Here is my MySQL information:
mysql-server-5.5.24
php5-mysqli-5.4.3
I had this same issue on my CentOS install. I had tried to install imagick and hosed my install. When I removed all of my php files and reinstalled something wasn't working right.
I ran:
yum install php-pdo
yum install php-pdo_mysql
After doing those two lines I ran
service httpd restart
and everything came back up and running.
PDO uses database specific drivers to connect to database systems. It looks like you are missing the pdo_mysql driver that is required to connect to a MySQL database. There is some details on installing the driver on the pdo_mysql manual page, or there may be a BSD package that you can use (I am afraid I'm not familiar enough with BSD to offer specific advice).
Thanks to zerkms and John C for pointing me in the right direction. Below are the commands I used to install the driver:
#cd /usr/ports/databases/php5-pdo_mysql
#make install clean
#apachectl restart
