I am trying to write a simple login form using Laravel and sqlite DB on localhost (vagrant and virtualbox). However, after entering username and passoword I keep getting "PDOException could not find driver" error. Any ideas?

--- EDIT ---

Had to install sqlite driver by typing 

  sudo apt-get install php5-sqlite

in my terminal window. It was somehow not enabled by default :/

It sounds like your version of PHP is either missing, or has disabled, the PDO extension. Use the phpinfo function to list out the extensions installed and enabled. If PDO isn't there, look for a commented line in your php.ini file(s) and/or talk to the person maintaining your servers.

I have found that sqlite is not enabled by using phpinfo - "PDO drivers mysql". How should I do it? Thank you

Your system has missing php SQLite installation.

Install it by using:

sudo apt-get install php7.0-sqlite
