IlluminateDatabaseQueryException could not find driver Laravel – Debian

I deploy a laravel project on an apache server on a Debian 10 machine.
The database is an MySQL deployed on another debian 10 machine on the same network.

I can go to the connection interface of the application but when I connect this error appears :

IlluminateDatabaseQueryException
could not find driver (SQL: select * from `users` where `email` = [email protected] limit 1)

I have already tried these commands :

php artisan migrate
sudo apt install php-mysql
sudo apt install php7.4-mysql
sudo systemctl restart apache2
composer require doctrine/dbal
composer update

these commands work but do not solve the problem.

and I already tried to comment and uncomment this line in the php.ini :

extension=pdo_mysql

in php-m i have
PDO and pdo-mysql

and i have restart my server with :

systemctl restart apache2

after modification

    I finally found the solution infact the php version used by apache was 7.3 and not 7.4 with :

    <?php phpinfo() ?>

    however when I did:

    php --version

    the version was indeed 7.4. I followed this tutorial to change the version https://tecadmin.net/switch-between-multiple-php-version-on-debian/?amp and it works

    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 and it worked for me.

    sudo apt-get install php-sqlite3

    If you have no problem using php artisan migrate, there is no problem for the command line to call the php script. If you use fpm and install a new extension, you need to restart it and try.

    I got this same error while running Laravel in a docker container. In my case the issue was that I did not install PDO when building the image. I solved this by adding the following line to my Dockerfile:

    RUN docker-php-ext-install pdo pdo_mysql
