Laravel: PDOException: could not find driver

If you can, run :

composer updatecomposer require doctrine/dbal

It looks like you have a missing dependency

Edit:

You might need to comment out the following in your php.ini file.

;extension=pdo_mysql.so

Taken from this post:Laravel 5 PDOException Could Not Find Driver. I think I had to do something exactly like this when setting up laravel on digital ocean.

php mysql apache laravel sqlite

Your database driver is missing. To solve the probelm

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

php mysql apache laravel sqlite

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

sudo apt-get install php-sqlite3

and it worked.
