PHP Symfony4 Doctrine 驱动程序/身份验证问题（Windows 10）

Question

I've installed PHP, mySQL and Apache as separate components and have a skeleton app built with Symfony/Composer/Twig .

I'm trying to create a database using php bin/console doctrine:database:create .

The error I'm getting is

Error thrown while running command "doctrine:database:create". Message: "An exception occurred in driver: could not find driver"

In AbstractMySQLDriver.php line 106: An exception occurred in driver: could not find driver

In PDOConnection.php line 31: could not find driver

In PDOConnection.php line 27: could not find driver

Here is what I have tried so far:

• Enabling the extension=pdo_mysql in php.ini This produces a different set of errors related to authentication. I don't understand the ramifications of enabling this extension so unsure if that's a good rabbit hole to be going down or not.

• In my.ini (equivalent to my.cnf for many others) I have made default_authentication_plugin=mysql_native_password based on the suggestions here I used mySQL Workbench to confirm the directory containing my.ini is where mySQL is pathing (maybe not the correct term).

Many with this issue had problems with unconventional mysql usernames or passwords but I am using DATABASE_URL=mysql://root:root@127.0.0.1:3306/appname

Any tips are appreciated!

I noticed that you marked the question tagged: windows. Based on that, we can have the project running in a virtual environment (VitualBox), if in the virtual environment it was Enabling the extension=pdo_mysql in php.ini , but the command php bin/console doctrine:database:create or php.exe bin/console doctrine:database:create run on the local machine and not the virtual one; you will need to enable extension=pdo_mysql in php.ini in the local development environment ( C:\\php\\php.ini )
