Error PDOException Could not Find Driver in PostgreSQL

+1 vote

I'm trying to connect with PostgreSQL database through Laravel in order to do a php artisan migrate but doesn't seem to be directed since it's reading the database name of MySQL.

Here are the commands from database.php:

'connections' => array(

    'sqlite' => array(
        'driver'   => 'sqlite',
        'database' => __DIR__.'/../database/production.sqlite',
        'prefix'   => '',
    ),

    'mysql' => array(
        'driver'    => 'mysql',
        'host'      => 'localhost',
        'database'  => 'database',
        'username'  => 'root',
        'password'  => '',
        'charset'   => 'utf8',
        'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
        'prefix'    => '',
    ),

    'pgsql' => array(
        'driver'   => 'pgsql',
        'host'     => 'localhost',
        'database' => 'postgres',
        'username' => 'postgres',
        'password' => 'root',
        'charset'  => 'utf8',
        'prefix'   => '',
        'schema'   => 'public',
    ),

    'sqlsrv' => array(
        'driver'   => 'sqlsrv',
        'host'     => 'localhost',
        'database' => 'database',
        'username' => 'root',
        'password' => '',
        'prefix'   => '',
    ),

),

If I remove the MySQL paths I'll get:

[InvalidArgumentException]
Database [mysql] not configured.

Hii,

I got this problem too. I have solved this issue already. If u are using Wamp then perform the following steps.

  1. Go to wamp64/www/bin/php/php* (where * is the php version you are using)
  2. Edit file php and uncomment this line by removing the semicolon:
     ;extension=pdo_pgsql to extension=pdo_pgsql
  1. Save and restart your Wamp server

If it does not work, please check your .env and config/database again.

Thank you!
