Laravel: Error [PDOException]: Could not Find Driver in PostgreSQL
Be sure to configure the 'default' key in app/config/database.php
For postgres, this would be 'default' => 'postgres',
If you are receiving a [PDOException] could not find driver error, check to see if you have the correct PHP extensions installed. You need pdo_pgsql.so and pgsql.so installed and enabled. Instructions on how to do this vary between operating systems.
For Windows, the pgsql extensions should come pre-downloaded with the official PHP distribution. Just edit your php.ini and uncomment the lines extension=pdo_pgsql.so and extension=pgsql.so
Also, in php.ini, make sure extension_dir is set to the proper directory. It should be a folder called extensions or ext or similar inside your PHP install directory.
Finally, copy libpq.dll from C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.*\ into C:\wamp\bin\apache*\bin and restart all services through the WampServer interface.
If you still get the exception, you may need to add the postgres \bin directory to your PATH:
- System Properties -> Advanced tab -> Environment Variables
- In 'System variables' group on lower half of window, scroll through and find the
PATHentry. - Select it and click Edit
- At the end of the existing entry, put the full path to your postgres bin directory. The bin folder should be located in the root of your postgres installation directory.
- Restart any open command prompts, or to be certain, restart your computer.
This should hopefully resolve any problems. For more information see:
For PDOException: could not find driver for MySQL, and if it is Debian based OS,
sudo apt-get -y install php5-mysql
For PHP 7 in Ubuntu you can also do:
sudo apt-get install php7.0-pgsqlSo, now you can do not uncomment lines in php.ini
UPD:I have a same error, so problem was not in driver.I changed my database.ini, but every time I saw an error.And I change database config in .env and errors gone.
