I just started to learn PHP. I'm following instructions in https://www.flynsarmy.com/2015/02/creating-a-basic-todo-application-in-laravel-5-part-1/
After I set up migration using
php artisan make:migration create_projects_and_tasks_tables --create="projects" I edit /database/migrations/_create_projects_and_tasks_tables.php as it says. But when I tried to excute
php artisan migrate I got [PDOException] could not find driver.
I'm running Laravel 5 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. I changed ~/'myProject'/config/database.php
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'), to
'default' => 'mysql', Here is my .env file
APP_ENV=local APP_DEBUG=true APP_KEY=RCUsYpBg6N0XFaax6BeaKSOCh1s5sNHy DB_HOST=localhost DB_DATABASE=homestead DB_USERNAME=homestead DB_PASSWORD=secret CACHE_DRIVER=file SESSION_DRIVER=file QUEUE_DRIVER=sync MAIL_DRIVER=smtp MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io MAIL_PORT=2525 MAIL_USERNAME=null MAIL_PASSWORD=null MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null The output of php --ini is
Configuration File (php.ini) Path: /etc/php5/cli Loaded Configuration File: /etc/php5/cli/php.ini Scan for additional .ini files in: /etc/php5/cli/conf.d Additional .ini files parsed: /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/05-opcache.ini, /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/10-pdo.ini, /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-json.ini, /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-mssql.ini, /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-pdo_dblib.ini, /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/20-readline.ini I also installed php5-sybase package as Laravel 5: Artisan throw PDOException could not find driver suggested.
Any suggestion would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Edit 1
Ran php artisan migrate after installed php5-mysql [PDOException] SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'homestead'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
Edit 2
DB_USERNAME=homestead DB_PASSWORD=secret should be the actual username and password for mysql
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
