I am working on Laravel 8 project, I ran migrations and made models, resource controller, routes and views. After running project with routing, "could not find driver" error was appeared. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

Sounds like PDO is not installed on server. What does phpinfo show?user3783243– user37832432021-10-26 23:28:48 +00:00Commented Oct 26, 2021 at 23:28

It seems like you have a missing dependency. run these commands
composer update
composer require doctrine/dbal
second solution: Edit your php.ini .Find and uncomment the following line (remove the ; character)
;extension=pdo_mysql.so //uncomment this line just remove ;

This solution work for me. Tnx bro.
Seems like your database driver is missing.
What you can do is: First install the driver
For ubuntu and mysql database.
sudo apt-get install php7.x-mysql
Minimum is php7.3 as that is the minimum requirement for laravel 8.
You also can search for other database systems. To search for available driver in your machine/server:
sudo apt-cache search drivername
Then run the command
php artisan migrate

If your php version is correct then
Need to open php.ini file.
uncomment extension=pdo_mysql.so; by removing the # in the beginning
Then, restart your Apache server. For more information, please read the documentation.
