PDO Exception with mysql

Hi everyone,

I didn't really know which channel fit the best for my problem so I just selected "general". I'm currently trying to deploy a website to a server which I newly installed. I got many problems, especially because I was first trying to use pgsql but i switched to MySQL. Now is the weird problem. I install mysql-server (i'm on a debian server) and php5-mysql packets. I ran the migrations and seedings which ran perfrectly.

But when I try to go on a page which execute an Eloquent request, I get a PDO Expcetion "could not found driver", which I found pretty weird considering that it worked using artisan.

Does anyone know how could that be possible ?

Well you have a server and cli versions so I'm guessing it's different, and artisan would be called from cli.

If you run on cli

php -i|grep PDO

PDO support => enabled
PDO drivers => mysql, pgsql, sqlite
PDO Driver for MySQL => enabled
PDO Driver for PostgreSQL => enabled
PDO Driver for SQLite 3.x => enabled

and through phpinfo() something similar to:

PDO support enabled
PDO drivers mysql, pgsql, sqlite

PDO Driver for MySQL    enabled
