Laravel - [PDOException]: Could not Find Driver in PostgreSQL - MAC OS

Question

I've looked at multiple posts about this issue on stackoverflow but i'm still having the same problem:

The following are listed in the php.ini file:

extension=php_pdo_pgsql.dll

extension=php_pgsql.dll

ENV File:

DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_DATABASE=owe
DB_USERNAME=postgres
DB_PASSWORD=password

i restart apache, rebooted computer and i'm getting the following error when i do a migrate:

me$ php artisan migrate
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/php_pdo_pgsql.dll' - dlopen(/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20121212/php_pdo_pgsql.dll, 9): image not found in Unknown on line 0

This is not related to Laravel in any way. Are you running Windows or Linux? Your paths look like Linux, but your file extensions (.dll) sound Windows — Denis Mysenko

mac os 10.9. The contents were taken from php.ini located in /etc — JCD

This worked for me:

brew install php55-pdo-pgsql
