Hi, Do you have really installed mysql? In linux terminal: sudo apt-get install php5-mysql You need to have a module called pdo_mysql, as you write. Looking for following in phpinfo() -> pdo_mysql.

If it's OK, be sure to configure the DEFAULT key in app/config/database.php and in .env file.

Laravel 4: Change "host" in the app/config/database.php file from "localhost" to "127.0.0.1"

Laravel 5: Change "DB_HOST" in the .env file from "localhost" to "127.0.0.1"

Laravel w/ Homestead: Use the directions above for the Laravel version you are using BUT change "localhost" to the IP address specified in Homestead.yaml. The default is "192.168.10.10" instead of "127.0.0.1"
