Hello i'm trying to connect laravel 5.4 with postgres, after updating the database configuration file and running php artisan migrate, the following error appears:
[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]
could not find driver (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where t
able_schema = public and table_name = migrations)
[PDOException]
could not find driver
this is my .env file
DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=5432
DB_DATABASE=Portail
DB_USERNAME=php
DB_PASSWORD=php
and this is my database.php file
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'pgsql'),
'pgsql' => [
'driver' => 'pgsql',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', '5432'),
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'Portail'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'php'),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'php'),
'charset' => 'utf8',
'prefix' => '',
'schema' => 'public',
'sslmode' => 'prefer', ],
and i use phpPgAdmin normally
sudo apt-get install php-pgsql. This is the command to install php pgsql driver in linux
I had a similar problem using on Ubuntu18.04 using php7.4 Solution:
First check you PHP version with php -v, in my case the version come out to be php7.4 so installed the necessary driver with apt-get install php7.4-pgsql
Finally restart the PHP server
I found the solution there are two php.ini files
C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.9\bin
C:\wamp64\bin\php\php7.0.10
i must do uncommented php_pdo_pgsql.dll and php_pgsql.dll in the two files thanks for your help all
