help me solve that problem

Answer 1

I was able to solve it by executing the following command:

sudo apt-get install -y php7.4-mysql

Answer 2

您可以检查php.ini文件中是否激活了pdo_mysql扩展。

Answer 3

In your php.ini configuration file uncomment the extension, remove ; :

extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

If you're on Linux make it:

extension=pdo_mysql.so

Then restart the server.

If this isn't working for you, you may need to install pdo_mysql extension into your php library.

Answer 4

It may be that you are using two or more versions of php. So you better do:

sudo apt install php-mysql

This way you can be sure pdo_mysql extension is installed on each version.

After this just restart apache2: sudo systemctl restart apache2 .

Answer 5

I had the same issue with this setup: Laravel, composer, nginx, mariadb, and php8 on Rocky Linux 8. When running php artisan migrate , I got the error that mysql could not find the driver. I installed php-mysql and then everything worked.

sudo dnf install php-mysql -y

or

sudo yum install php-mysql y

then

sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

Good luck and hope this helps.
