pdo exception driver not found in laravel for sqlite

Question

When I run php artisan migrate command I get:

[PDOException] could not find driver.

I made my default database as sqlite and checked whether there are pdo drivers for sqlite using php -i command. I could not understand my problem.

Answer 1

Your system has missing php SQLite installation.

Install it by using:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-sqlite

Then restart your apache server

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

Answer 2

You need to install PDO on your server, or you might have to just comment out the following line in your php.ini file.

;extension=pdo_sqlite

(remove the ; character)

You should then restart your server.
