PDOException "Driver not found" in php

Question

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

php app/console doctrine:schema:create

I received the following error message: -

PDOException “could not find driver”

I also uncommented the line extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

in the php.ini file

I tried finding and searching for my problem but I couldn't solve my problem. When I run the php -m command I get 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

Is there any way to eliminate this problem?

Answer 1

In Ubuntu, write

in the console

sudo apt-get install php5-gd php5-mysql

It will work

Answer 2

Hopefully you are running your project in localhost. There is a file named parameters.ini in your project folder app/config, make sure your Mysql database connection is configured correctly. If you use mysql, see database_driver=pdo_mysql is the driver for it.

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.
