Just started exploring Laravel.

I created a fresh project from start. When trying to run php artisan migrate command I am getting this error:

  IlluminateDatabaseQueryException  : could not find driver (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = laravel and table_name
 = migrations and table_type = 'BASE TABLE')

  at C:xampphtdocsTestLaravelAppvendorlaravelframeworksrcIlluminateDatabaseConnection.php:665
    661|         // If an exception occurs when attempting to run a query, we'll format the error
    662|         // message to include the bindings with SQL, which will make this exception a
    663|         // lot more helpful to the developer instead of just the database's errors.
    664|   



    catch (Exception $e) {
  > 665|             throw new QueryException(
    666|                 $query, $this->prepareBindings($bindings), $e
    667|             );
    668|         }
669|

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    Finally was able to figure it out my self. While changing configuration in php.ini file which is in xampp folder I also modified the file in php installed location .ini file. reverting back the changes worked.


  2. You need to have a module called pdo_mysql. Check in php.ini file

    Try uncommenting this line from php.ini. JUst remove ; from that line save file and restart your server.

     extension=pdo_mysql 
    

    Try adding this line in php.ini file

     extension=php_pdo_mysql.so
