PDO: Could not find driver php/mysql

Closed 7 years ago.
Please help me I am doing Symblog tutorial that is unfortunately filled with mistakes so I need to seek your wisdom. I am in the part of the tutorial where I need to use 2 commands
$ php app/console doctrine:database:create
$ php app/console doctrine:schema:create
but after I use first one I get red error in cli:
Could not create database `symblog_db` for connection named default
could not find driver
I checked another topics and they say I have to ensure that my apache and cli uses the same php.ini file. I checked it - they don't, so what now? Copy php.ini from cli and overwrite apache one or other way around?
I use XAMPP on Ubuntu
Here is extension part of /opt/lampp/etc/php.ini

I could add phpinfo but It will exceed the question allowed length. Please help me.

Answer 1

It's look like you should uncoment string "extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll".
When cli and http uses different .ini files - it's not a problem, it's a different environments with different preferences.
But I din't understand, why extensions has .dll extension if you use Ubuntu.

Answer 2

I uncommented this line extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll and it works for me..
