When I am trying to migrate in Lumen it giving me following error

In Connection.php line 664:

  could not find driver (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where t  
  able_schema = authors and table_name = migrations)

I am using a apache2 on ubuntu 16.

Answer 1

I solved my problem by updating PHP version. I was using php7.0 . I updated it to php7.2 . Lumen required minimum php7.1 .

I used following commands

sudo apt-get install php7.2-mysql

php artisan cache:clear
