I have a bad experience while installing laravel. However, I was able to do so and move to the next level. I used generators and created my migrations.
But when I type the last command
php artisan migrate
It's throwing a PDOException - could not find driver.
'mysql' => array(
'driver' => 'mysql',
'host' => 'localhost',
'unix_socket' => '/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock',
'database' => 'database',
'username' => 'root',
'password' => '',
'charset' => 'utf8',
'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
'prefix' => '',
),
That's my configuration in config/database.php.
I tried searching on stackoverflow and laravel forums and people suggest that it's PDO problem and not artisan's or php's - I followed those suggestions like adding
extension=pgsql.so
extension=pdo_pgsql.so
in php.ini
No positive result. It always says [PDOException]could not find driver.
Can someone please help resolving this.
Environment that I am using: Mac, laravel 4, MAMP PRO with php 5.4.4
You can use
sudo apt-get install php7-mysql
or
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
or
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
This worked for me.
You need to specifically enable the pdo_mysql plugin. Assuming you're using a standard PHP installation, then generally you would simply need to add this to your PHP.ini file:
extension=pdo_mysql.so
You need to ensure that this file exists in the extension directory though.
Adding pdo_pgsql.so doesn't help because that is for PostgreSQL.
Additionally, you should ensure that you restart the web-server after you make the changes to the PHP ini file, as the changes may not be reflected otherwise.
This worked for me:
sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite
This installed sqlite for php5, then I ran the php artisan migrate command again and worked perfectly.
Ran into the same issue here, and turns out this is because PHP at the command line uses a different php.ini file from the browser version, which is why it looks like it's loading the extension correctly when you look at phpinfo() in a browser.
As per this answer, you just need to run:
php --ini
At the command line, which will tell you the path to the currently loaded php.ini (probably actually a php-cli.ini file located in the same place as your regular php.ini file).
Once you've found that, modify it with the pdo extensions you want (in this case for MySQL):
extension=pdo_mysql.so
Or, for any other users that are on Windows using some kind of WAMP server, it probably looks like this instead:
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
I think you missed the mysql driver for php5.
Execute below command:
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
/etc/init.d/php5-fpm restart
You must be installing the latest version of php mysql
in my case I am install php7.1-mysql
Try this
sudo apt-get install php7.1-mysql
I am using the latest version of laravel
You are missing a PDO driver.
First install the driver
For ubuntu: For mysql database.
sudo apt-get install php5.6-mysql/php7.2-mysql
You also can search for other database systems.
You also can search for the driver:
sudo apt-cache search drivername
Then Run the cmd php artisan migrate
Please check your Laravel .env file also. Make sure DB_CONNECTION=mysql, otherwise it won't work with MySQL. It tried to load something else.
I got this error for the PostgreSQL and the solution is:
sudo apt-get install php7.1-pgsql
You only need to use your installed PHP version, mine is 7.1.
This has fixed the issue for PostgreSQL.
Had the same issue and just figured, website is running under MAMP's php, but when you call in command, it runs mac's(if no bash path modified). you will have issue when mac doesn't have those extensions.
run php -i to find out loaded extensions, and install those one you missed. or run '/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.3.6/bin/php artisan {your command}' to use MAMP's
I was also getting the same error --> "[PDOException]
could not find driver "
After that I used many commands but not didn't get any help
Finally I used the following command, which solved my problem.
sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite
Laravel Testing with sqlite needs php pdo sqlite drivers
For Ubuntu 14.04
sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite
sudo service apache2 restart
In ubuntu 16.04 there is no php5-sqlite
sudo apt-get install php7.0-sqlite
sudo service apache2 restart
This worked with me:(for pgsql: use 'pgsql' instead of 'mysql')
Step 1)
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
Step 2)
php artisan config:clear
Step 3)
php artisan config:cache
Step 4)
Then restart your server, and generate key again and migrate it, Its Done
I'm unsing ubuntu 14.04
Below command solved this problem for me.
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
In my case, after updating my php version from 5.5.9 to 7.0.8 i received this error including two other errors.
errors:
laravel/framework v5.2.14 requires ext-mbstring * -> the requested PHP extension mbstring is missing from your system.
phpunit/phpunit 4.8.22 requires ext-dom * -> the requested PHP extension dom is missing from your system.
[PDOException]
could not find driver
Solutions:
I installed this packages and my problems are gone.
sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
sudo apt-get install php-xml
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
I had this problem on debian. The issue was, I was using the dotdeb repository for more recent PHP packages. For some reason, it updated the php cli to 7.0, while the web php binary remained php 5.6. I used this answer to link the php command line binary to the 5.6 version, like so:
$ sudo ln -sfn /usr/bin/php5 /etc/alternatives/php
first check your php version like this :
php -v
after you get version number for example i get 7.1 then install like that
sudo apt-get install php7.1-sqlite //for laravel testing with sqlite
sudo apt-get install php-mysql //for default mysql
sudo apt-get install php7.1-mysql //for version based mysql
sudo apt-get install php7.1-common //for other necessary package for php
and need to restart apache2
sudo service apache2 restart
For future searchers.
On FreeBSD try the next
pkg_info | grep php5-pdo_mysql
if you see the empty line in return do the following:
cd /usr/ports/databases/php5-pdo_mysql
and the do the install
make install clean
then simply restart your apache and you are done
e.g. sudo /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 restart
Install it via this command
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
this worked for me.
In my case I wasn't aware that the PHP run by Apache was different from the one run by CLI. That might be the case if during configuration in httpd.conf you specified a PHP module, not being the default one your CLI uses.
I found the proper solution for this error! Either you don't have any database installed or your default database in this file
config/database.php
is set to some other database like this
'default' => 'sqlite',
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'sqlite'), //laravel 5.2
change the default to which one you have installed or install that database which is made to be default! I had installed mysql and php artisan migrate worked after i changed that line to this:
'default' => 'mysql',
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'), //laravel5.2
I was also getting the same error --> "[PDOException]
could not find driver "
I realized that the php was pointing to /usr/bin/php instead of the lampp /opt/lampp/bin/php so i simply created
and alias
alias php="/opt/lampp/bin/php"
also had to make update to the .env file to ensure the database access credentials were updated.
And guess what, it Worked!
If you are using Laravel 5.x, and the error is from trying to modify the attributes of a column, it is possible the error comes from a missing pre-requisite.
Try this:
composer require doctrine/dbal
Then try running your migrations.
From here:
https://laravel.com/docs/master/migrations#modifying-columns
If you are using arch based system like in manjaro
just use
sudo pacman -S php-sqlite
Restart your httpd
systemctl restart httpd
for those users of windows 10 and WAMP that found this post, i have a solution.Please go visit this link. It worked for me and it was difficult to come to the solution but i hope it might be of help for others in the future.
Assuming you did the normal installation with virtual box, vagrant etc..
This can happen to new people.
PHP can be installed on your PC but all the modules PHP for your laravel project is on your VM
So to access your VM, go to your homestead folder and type:
vagrant ssh
then to go your project path and execute the php artisan migrate.
It's an issue with MAC and MAMP.
Try to add in your .env file this:
DB_SOCKET= /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock
It work for me
This expands on Sven P's answer:
I was baffled by this error message myself when upgrading to a new DigitalOcean Droplet running Ubuntu 20.04 and Laravel 8.x. One thing to keep in mind is that you are running php artisan migrate on the command line and that might be different from the version of PHP you're running on Apache server. My Laravel test apps were working smoothly, but I couldn't run Postgresql related commands from the command line. Then I remembered that the default version of PHP for Ubuntu 20.04 was 8.x and I had configured my Apache server to run PHP 7.4. This tutorial was my salvation: How To Switch PHP Version on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Check your PHP version. Sure enough, my CLI PHP was version 8.x so it didn't have the Postgresql driver installed and enabled. Following the tutorial, I ran
sudo update-alternatives --config php
and selected my PHP 7.4 installation and now when I log in to my SSH client and check the PHP version, it displays 7.4, where I have installed and enabled Postgresql. So now my php artisan migrate command runs smoothly and I can get back to work.
This tip is relevant to any database connection you're using. For instance, if you normally used MySQL for your Apache apps, you would have the same error if your CLI PHP version was different and didn't have MySQL installed and enabled.

I deploy a laravel project on an apache server on a Debian 10 machine.
The database is an MySQL deployed on another debian 10 machine on the same network.
I can go to the connection interface of the application but when I connect this error appears :
Illuminate\Database\QueryException
could not find driver (SQL: select * from `users` where `email` = test#gmail.com limit 1)
I have already tried these commands :
php artisan migrate
sudo apt install php-mysql
sudo apt install php7.4-mysql
sudo systemctl restart apache2
composer require doctrine/dbal
composer update
these commands work but do not solve the problem.
and I already tried to comment and uncomment this line in the php.ini :
extension=pdo_mysql
in php-m i have
PDO and pdo-mysql
and i have restart my server with :
systemctl restart apache2
after modification
I got the same error when running my test suite. It was working before but it stopped working after I upgraded php. So I did and it worked for me.
sudo apt-get install php-sqlite3
If you have no problem using php artisan migrate, there is no problem for the command line to call the php script. If you use fpm and install a new extension, you need to restart it and try.
I finally found the solution
infact the php version used by apache was 7.3 and not 7.4 with :
<?php phpinfo() ?>
however when I did:
php --version
the version was indeed 7.4.
I followed this tutorial to change the version
https://tecadmin.net/switch-between-multiple-php-version-on-debian/?amp
and it works
I tried to install opencats on linux server. Running ubuntu version is 18. When I try to install opencats via http://localhost/opencats (server ip address used as localhost) and click installwizard.php I get the following errors/warnings:
It won't work on PHP7 if it wants the MySQL extension. It has been removed. Its sounds like a very very old project you are trying to install.
I had a quick look on their homepage:
Opencats has a minimum supported PHP version of PHP 5.5, and are working towards full PHP 7 compatibility.
http://www.opencats.org/
OpenCATS does not currently support php7. It must be 5.6.X
you should install PHP5.6, Open your terminal and execute those commands as follow:
1- to install PHP5.6
sudo apt-get install php5.6
2- Now, you should know which PHP version you are using
php --version
3- To stop running the current PHP version, run the commands below to disable it for Apache2 (ex: PHP7.2)
sudo a2dismod phpX
where X is your PHP version
4- Then run the commands below to enable PHP 5.6 for Apache2 to use
sudo a2enmod php5.6
5- Now, You can install the needed PHP extensions like MySQL
sudo apt-get install php5.6-mysql
5- Restart Apache2 for the changes to apply by running the commands below
sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
Hope that this can help you.
Can anyone help me install php-redis in MAC OSX .
brew install php-redis
not working.
pecl install php-redis
also not working getting -
invalid package name/package file "php-redis".
Homebrew Error:
homebrew_error
git clone https://www.github.com/phpredis/phpredis.git
cd phpredis
phpize && ./configure && make && sudo make install
Add extension=redis.so in your php.ini
brew services restart php#7.2
make test
You can check working or not
php -r "if (new Redis() == true){ echo \"\r\n OK \r\n\"; }"
As of 2019, with homebrew php7.2 and up, pecl is now installed by default alongside the php binaries.
To see this for yourself type which pecl.
Steps to install
Check your version of redis, then find a suitable version of the extension here.
If unfamiliar with pecl, type pecl to see the options.
Issue pecl install redis-5.0.2. (or your version). Enter no to each question asked if you're not sure.
If that succeeds check the new file it created at: /usr/local/lib/php/pecl/20180731/redis.so
The install will have added extension="redis.so" to top of your php ini.
Check that by opening the file /usr/local/etc/php/7.3/php.ini.
(assuming you're on 7.3 there)
brew services restart php.
php -i | grep Redis
Redis Support => enabled
Redis Version => 5.0.2
This is what I just did in September 2019 and it works for me.
If what mwal wrote above doesn't work (please try his/her answer first),
first, try to uninstall first (if you have it but broken):
sudo pecl uninstall redis
and after that run:
sudo pecl install redis
After that, ini the php.ini, use full path for the extension.
Mine was /usr/local/Cellar/php#7.3/7.3.21/pecl/20180731/redis.so (assuming you are using php#7.3)
so at the top of my php.ini file is like this:
extension="/usr/local/Cellar/php#7.3/7.3.21/pecl/20180731/redis.so"
Here are steps to use pickle, for PHP >= 7.3 (tested with 8.1):
brew install pickle
pickle install redis
Find your php.ini location via php -i|grep php.ini
Edit the php.ini, insert extension=redis. Preferable at Dynamic Extensions section.
No restart of Apache httpd service is required. You may test your PHP code with Redis
Bonus
If you use VS Code, to enable intellisense / auto complete, at Preference -> paste intelephense.stubs at Search setting box -> Add Item -> select redis.
If you got the following error,
Please make sure the PHP Redis extension is installed and enabled
despite doing everything in the verified answer above, try valet restart . It worked for me
I have tried all these solutions but didn't work for me for a while so I tried this link https://developer.redis.com/develop/php/ from the original docs and it works as charm
If someone gets an error during sudo pecl install redis
Warning: mkdir(): File exists in System.php on line 294
PHP Warning: mkdir(): File exists in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/-----/pear/System.php on line 294
that means you need to create the broken directory manually.
Try to create the directory...
pecl config-get ext_dir | pbcopy
mkdir -p {paste clipboard value}
# in my case, it was
mkdir -p /opt/homebrew/lib/php/pecl/20200930
Now try to install any pecl extensions.
sudo pecl install redis
After installing any extension, restart php
brew services restart php
Happy coding :)
I am running an Ubuntu 12.04 Apache2/PHP/MYSQL server that was using a deprecated version of PHP. I realized this once I tried to install the sqlite3 extension I get an error:
Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ondrej/php5-5.6/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources
Research shows me that this is no longer used and instead use ondrej/php instead. This is a production server and I need to figure out steps to replace the PPA with the correct one.
Will I need to uninstall PHP and reinstall using the new packages? If so how should I go about doing this cleanly?
Is there a way to temporarily install sqlite3 without having to change repositories completely (I do not have php-dev installed at the moment either).
First you should check if there are any compatibility issues with the version you want to upgrade to (did a quick google to find this: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer). Then, add the repository that contains the version you want, sudo apt-get update and install the version of php you want. To switch the version apache uses, do the following:
sudo a2dismod php5
sudo a2enmod php5.6
sudo service apache2 restart
I had PHP 5.2 with MongoDB installed on Debian Lenny x64 and everything was fine.
After updating PHP to 5.3 (dotdeb) I can't get MongoDB to work, I always get an error
Fatal error: Class 'Mongo' not found (...)
Everything else works fine, all default modules are working.
My php.ini:
extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php5/20090626"
extension=mongo.so
Mongo.so is in same location as written above.
But when I run php -m in console to check loaded modules, "mongo" isn't listed there.
I can't use dl('mongo.so') to load module at runtime, because this function was deprecated in PHP 5.3.
May be I should recompile mongo somehow, I just don't know how to do that because I'm not very good in *nix commands.
Thanks for your help!
UPDATE
Also may be it's worth saying that before my mongo.so was in /usr/lib/php5/20060613 and I manually copied it to "/usr/lib/php5/20090626" because it seems that after updating my PHP all modules are located there.
The extension module api has changed between php5.2 and php5.3. When php tries to load an extension module both sides have to "present" an api magic key that identifies the api version. If those numbers don't match the module is not loaded/activated.
Try sudo pecl install mongo again to get an extension module that fits your new php version.
Try re installing mongo & restart service
sudo pecl uninstall mongo
sudo pecl install mongo
sudo service apache2 restart
This will install mongo in to newer version
I spent a little time trying to fix this, I am guessing you had a previous mongo install. The way I fixed it was by:
I installed php5-dev:
sudo apt-get install php5-dev
cd /etc/php5/apache2/conf.d/
sudo rm -rf mongo.ini
I then viewed my php.ini and removed extension=mongo.so
Then:
sudo pecl uninstall mongo
sudo pecl install mongo
sudo service apache2 restart
