Laravel: Error [PDOException]: Could not find driver in PostgreSQL?

Question

I am trying to connect PostgreSQL to Laravel 5.0, but I encountered the exception "Could not find driver in PostgreSQL".

I tried this solution but cannot connect to PostgreSQL

stack overflow

My database.php configuration file is as follows

'default' => 'pgsql' 'pgsql' => [ 'driver' => 'pgsql', 'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'), 'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'), 'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forgeUser'), 'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', '****'), 'charset' => 'utf8', 'prefix' => '', 'schema' => 'public', 'port' => 5432, ] 

PDO extensions are included in php.ini

 extension=php_pdo.dll extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll 

when i run the following command

php artisan migrate

he gives an error

 [PDOException] could not find driver 

Works great when we associate PostgreSQL with Core PHP.

Is there any other driver in Laravel? Please guide me.

thanks

You must be ssh in your homestead or stray box. Then try to migrate.
