PDOException “could not find driver” in php

Question

I have installed Lampp on my linux system, and I am learning symfony2, while trying to create the schema with symfony2 command

php app/console doctrine:schema:create

I am getting the following error message:-

PDOException “could not find driver”

I also uncomment this line extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll in php.ini file

I tried to look and google my issue but couldn't resolve my problem. when i run php -m command i am getting the following result:-

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mysql.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/mysql.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0

Answer 2

Hope you are running your project in localhost. In your project folder app/config a file named parameters.ini , Make sure that your Mysql database connection cofiguration is correct. If you are using mysql See database_driver=pdo_mysql is its driver.

Below is an example.

database_driver   = pdo_mysql
    database_host     = localhost
    database_port     =
    database_name     = databasename
    database_user     = msqlusername
    database_password = mysqlpassword//if not make blank

    mailer_transport  = smtp
    mailer_host       = localhost
    mailer_user       =
    mailer_password   =

    locale            = en

    secret            = ThisTokenIsNotSoSecretChangeIt

Hope it helps you.
