I have just installed Debian Lenny with Apache, MySQL, and PHP and I am receiving a PDOException could not find driver.
This is the specific line of code it is referring to:
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=' . DB_HOST . ';dbname=' . DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASS)
DB_HOST, DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PASS are constants that I have defined. It works fine on the production server (and on my previous Ubuntu Server setup).
Is this something to do with my PHP installation?
Searching the internet has not helped, all I get is experts-exchange and examples, but no solutions.
You need to have a module called pdo_mysql. Looking for following in phpinfo(),
pdo_mysql
PDO Driver for MySQL, client library version => 5.1.44
The dsn in your code reveals you are trying to connect with the mysql driver. Your error message indicates that this driver is unavailable.
Check that you have the mysql extension installed on your server.
In Ubuntu/Debian you check for the package with:
dpkg --get-selections | grep php | grep mysql
Install the php5-mysql package if you do not have it.
In Ubuntu/Debian you can use:
PHP5: sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
PHP7: sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql
Lastly, to get it working, you will need to restart your web-server:
Apache: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Nginx: sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart
Update: newer versions should use php-sqlite3 package instead of php5-sqlite. So use this, if you are using a recent ubuntu version:
sudo apt-get install sqlite php-sqlite3
Original answer to question is here:
sudo apt-get install sqlite php5-sqlite
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
If your phpinfo() is not showing the pdo_sqlite line (in my case, on my Ubuntu Server), you just need to run the lines above and then you'll be good to go.
For newer versions of Ubuntu that have PHP 7.0 you can get the php-mysql package:
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
Then restart your server:
sudo service apache2 restart
I had the same issue. The solution depends on OS. In my case, i have debian, so to solve it:
Updated my php version from (php5 to php7)
Install php-mysql and php7.0-mysql
apt-get install php-mysql
apt-get install php7.0-mysql
I edited my php.ini locate at /etc/php/7.0/apache2/php.ini
uncomment the line : extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
Then restart apache:
service apache2 restart
This solves my problem
On my Windows machine, I had to give the absolute path to the extension dir in my php.ini:
extension_dir = "c:\php5\ext"
Check if the module is available with php -m | grep pdo_mysql.
If not, for PHP 7.2, you can install relevant package with sudo apt install php7.2-mysql.
Use similar command on other PHP versions and package managers.
On Ubuntu just execute
sudo apt-get install php5-mysql
sudo apt-get install php-mysql
worked well on ubuntu and php 7
When adding these into your php.ini ensure the php_pdo.dll reference is first before the db drivers dlls otherwise this will also cause this error message too. Add them like this:
[PHP_PDO]
extension=php_pdo.dll
[PHP_PDO_MYSQL]
extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll
for Windows 8.1/10 in :\\php.ini file you should uncomment line "extension=pdo_mysql"
Did you check your php.ini (check for the correct location with phpinfo()) if MySQL and the driver is installed correctly?
For PHP 5.5 on CentOS I fixed this by installing the php55-mysqlnd package.
sudo yum -y install php55w-mysqlnd # For Webtatic
sudo yum -y install php55u-mysqlnd # For Remi
For help installing, write a comment as it depends on the way PHP is installed on your system. Available repo's are webtatic and remi.
Check if extension_dir in php configuration file set correctly. Try to comment/uncomment some extensions and see if it's reflected on phpinfo().
If it doesn't then either php config file cannot be loaded (wrong location) extension_dir is commented or set to the wrong location.
In my case my DSN string was incorrect, specifically it did not contain mysql://. I would have expected a different error message, perhaps something like 'DSN string does not specify driver/protocol.'
Adding mysql:// to the beginning of the DSN string resolved the issue.
I had the same problem during running tests with separate php.ini. I had to add these lines to my own php.ini file:
[PHP]
extension = mysqlnd.so
extension = pdo.so
extension = pdo_mysql.so
Notice: Exactly in this order
I spent the last day trying to figure out why I was getting the following error. I am running Ubuntu 14.04.
The Problem:
I noticed that my PHP-CLI version was running php7.0 but php_info() (the web version) was displaying php 5.5.9. Even though php_info() said pdo was enabled, using the command line (CLI) wasn't recognizing the pdo_mysql command. It turns out that mysql was enabled for my old version but not the CLI version. All I did was install mysql for php7.0 and it was able to work.
This is what worked:
To check the version:
php -v
To install mysql for php7.0
sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql
1) make sure your CLI version is the same as your web version
2) If they are different, make sure your CLI version has the mysql plug-in since it doesn't come with it as a default.
Incorrect installation of PHP was being called
I was experiencing the same problem. And I hope this would help someone who is having a similar issue as me.
Scenario
OS = Windows 10
Platform = XAMPP
PHP Version = 7 (Multiple Version seem to have been installed in the PC)
I created phpinfo.php file in the public folder and run the phpinfo() to look for the location of my php.ini file.
PHP.ini Location = c:\xampp\php\php.ini
Problem
Calling c:\xampp\htdocs> php -v returned PHP 7.2.3 but phpinfo.php showed PHP 7.2.2.
Solution
Instead of calling
php artisan migrate:install
which gave me this error, I used
c:\xampp\php\php artisan migrate:install
and it worked.
The problem is a missing php to mysql library. In CentOs i fixed it by running
# yum install php-mysql and then restarting apache with # /bin/systemctl restart httpd.service Note that the naming is slightly different from debian/ubuntu based distros, php->php5 and httpd->apache2.
I extremely recommend mysqllnd instead of mysql because of you would have a lot of problems like number converting and bit type evaluates problem with mysql extension.
on ubuntu install mysqllnd with following command:
sudo apt-get install php5-mysqlnd
In my case, I was using PDO with php-cli, and it worked fine.
Only when I tried to connect from apache, I got the "missing driver" issue, which I didn't quite understand.
A simple apt-get install php-mysql solved it. (Ubuntu 16.04 / PHP7. credits go to the selected answer & Ivan's comment)
Hope it can help.
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught PDOException: could not find driver
I struggled and struggled with "apt install php-mysql php7toInfinity and don't forget sqlite-what-ever's" and just could not get rid of this error message until I went back to basics and reset the file-permissions on the web-site in question.
These 3 commands reset file and folder permissions on the web-site and got it to work again.
cd /var/www/web-site-name.com/web/
# find (sub) directories and change permissions
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
# find files and change permissions
find . -type f -exec chmod 664 '{}' \;
I Fixed this issue on my Debian 6.
Normally I just had installed php5-common package. After installation, you have to restart your web server (apache or nginx depending on which one you installed).
Then I just do an lsof on the apache process id (lsof -p process_id) as followed :
sudo lsof -p 1399 #replace 1399 by your apache process id
apache2 1399 root mem REG 254,2 80352 227236 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/xmlrpc.so
apache2 1399 root mem REG 254,2 166496 227235 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/suhosin.so
apache2 1399 root mem REG 254,2 31120 227233 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/pdo_mysql.so
apache2 1399 root mem REG 254,2 100776 227216 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/pdo.so
apache2 1399 root mem REG 254,2 135864 227232 /usr/lib/php5/20090626/mysqli.so
As you can see above, the modules are installed on a file path not known or guided by common library path: /usr/lib/php5/20090626/. For your installation, it may be different, but only the path of pdo_mysql.so, pdo.so, mysqli.so. So, this is why Drupal or any other php engine couldn't find the library and shows that error: PDOException: could not find driver
I just don't know why it is installed on such a weird path, for me it's just a bug in the library package installation script in debian 6.
I solved the issue by creating a symbolic for all the files under /usr/lib/php5/20090626/ to
/usr/lib/php5/ with this command :
ln -s /usr/lib/php5/20090626/* /usr/lib/php5/
$DB_TYPE = 'mysql'; //Type of database<br>
$DB_HOST = 'localhost'; //Host name<br>
$DB_USER = 'root'; //Host Username<br>
$DB_PASS = ''; //Host Password<br>
$DB_NAME = 'database_name'; //Database name<br><br>
$dbh = new PDO("$DB_TYPE:host=$DB_HOST; dbname=$DB_NAME;", $DB_USER, $DB_PASS); // PDO Connection
This worked for me.
I faced the same issue after I removed the php5 package (that includes all the drivers as well) in order to install php7 package. I actually installed php7 package without a mysql module.
I managed to solve it by typing in the terminal:
1) $ apt-cache search php7
which lists all the modules, looking through the modules I found,
php7.0-mysql - MySQL module for PHP
2) $ sudo apt-get install php7.0-mysql
That's it. It worked for me in my linux system.
(use the appropriate php version, yours could be php5)
Just one other thing to confirm as some people are copy/pasting example code from the Internet to get started. Make sure you have MySQL entered here:
... $dbh = new PDO ("mysql: ...
In some examples this shows
$dbh = new PDO ("dblib ...
For those using Symfony2/3 and wondering why you're getting this error. If you're using "mapping_types", you might encounter this error. The reason is that "mapping_types" is placed at the wrong level. For instance :
doctrine:
dbal:
mapping_types:
set: string
This "mapping_types" must be placed at this level :
doctrine:
dbal:
#To counter the error caused by 'mapping_types'
connections:
default:
server_version: %database_server_version%
mapping_types:
set: string
I hope this helps
I found the solution here : https://github.com/doctrine/DoctrineBundle/issues/327
Everywhere I go I read that the path of extension_dir should be changed from ext to an absolute path. It worked for me. However, when trying to build a server of my colleague's PC, I had to let the value to ext instead of putting an absolute path.
If you did put an absolute path and it does the extension is still not found, considerer trying both with the absolute path and ext.
Check correct path in extension_dir in you phpinfo().
Had the same issue, because I forgot to go into my virtual machine. If I go to my local directory like this:
cd /www/homestead/my_project
php artisan migrate
that error will appear. But it works on my virtual machine
cd ~/homestead
vagrant ssh
cd /www/homestead/my_project
php artisan migrate

I am total newbie on Linux. Yesterday I installed XAMPP and it throw me an error about busy port 3306. As I found out I have some mysql servel running in folder /usr/sbin/mysqld. I don't know how is it possible, but I would like to remove that. How can I do it and don't damage xampps mysql? THX.
Os: Linux - Mint
run this command :
sudo apt-get remove mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common
that will remove all mysql data in /usr/sbin/mysqld, but not remove anything in your mysq data XAMPP
echo manual | sudo tee /etc/init/mysql.override
MySQL runs from an upstart file, which can be disabled with an override file. This will disable it permanently, and the service will have to be enabled manually. If you would like to run the service on startup again, simply delete the override file.
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress
I tried to fix this problem by making sure MySQL server is running.
/etc/init.d/mysql status
I found it is running properly.
Then I cheked for MySQL Module for php5 is installed
dpkg --list | grep php5-mysql
and finally, I restarted the NGINX:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
Still facing the same issue again and again:
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress.
Thanks for contributing to the answer.
Nothing worked to solve this issue. Although I faced the same issue. #igor yavych answer was quite useful.
Finally R&D worked and here's the final solution:
In order to deploy PHP applications, you will need to implement the following “PHP-FastCGI” solution to allow nginx to properly handle and serve pages that contain PHP code.
sudo apt-get install php5-cli php5-cgi php5-fpm
Now, install NGINX:
sudo apt-get install nginx
Now configure NGINX then restart NGINX and PHP5-fpm:
service php5-fpm restart
/etc/init.d/nginx restart
Issue the following command to install the MySQL server packages and required PHP support for MySQL (You do not have to purge MySQL Server):
sudo apt-get install mysql-server php5-mysql
Finally restart php5-fpm:
service php5-fpm restart
Congratulations! Now it's working!
You can also check my step-by-step guide.
This is error that means that your PHP either has mysql/mysqli extension disabled or doesn't have it to begin with. If said extension is actually present, check your php.ini and your additional configuration files to see if it's actually enabled (for example extension=/path/to/extension/mysql.so). You can also check phpinfo to see what's actually there.
Fixing this problem was quite simple. All I had to do is go into my nginx server block like so:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/myblog.com
then in the server block all I had to do is find
php7.0
and change it to
php7.2
Basically, with the upgrade of Ubunto 17.04 to 17.10 php7.0 was no longer working but I still had php7.0.
this is where you will find it in your server block:
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
So, from now on just remember to update your nginx server blocks after an upgrade of Ubuntu or PHP. There is no need to mess with the shell or other configurations any further.
I seem to be having an issue getting MySQL 5.6.1.5 to install from Source. I am running RHEL 6.
I was able to perform the cmake, make, and make install without issues.
I am attempting to run the mysql_install_db binary and when I do I get the following error:
Fatal ERROR: Could not find ./bin/my_print_defaults
If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to copy the software
into the correct location ready for operation.
If you are using a binary release, you must either bat at the top level of the
extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option pointing to that location.
So I did a check for my_print_defaults using which my_print_defaults, unfortunately it was not found on my machine.
I did a locate my_print_defaults as well just for the heck of it and said it was located in /usr/bin/my_print_defaults, however, when I checked /usr/bin for the binary, it was not actually there.
I would try to use mysql_install_db --basedir=/usr/bin but I know this won't work as the which and locate commands confirm my_print_defaults isn't on my machine.
I looked at mysql_install_db giving error, but that error was not similar to this one.
Please ignore question, I didn't bother to try running find / -name my_print_defaults and found it in /usr/local/mysql/bin/
I searched packages for my_print_defaults with
apt-file search my_print_defaults
If my_print_defaults is missing on your system (which my_print_defaults), first find out which db is installed with:
dpkg -l |grep -E 'maria|mysql'|grep ii|grep server
If you have installed mariadb, try reinstall mariadb:
sudo apt install --reinstall mariadb-server-core-10.1
If you don't find a solution with mariadb, swap back to mysql with
sudo apt install mysql-server
I'm trying to install MySQL 5.6 on Debian.
Here what I do:
sudo dpkg -i mysql-5.6.12-debian6.0-i686.deb
cd /usr/local
ln -s /opt/mysql/server-5.6 mysql
cd mysql
scripts/mysql_install_db.sh --user=mysql --datadir=/var/lib/mysql
And this is the error that I get:
FATAL ERROR: Could not find #bindir#/my_print_defaults
If you compiled from source, you need to run 'make install' to
copy the software into the correct location ready for operation.
If you are using a binary release, you must either be at the top
level of the extracted archive, or pass the --basedir option
pointing to that location.
Could you please suggest something? I'm installing MySQL from scratch (previous version was completely removed).
Thanks.
I might not be able to help with the error you're getting. But apt-get install -f mysql-server-5.5 worked for me on Debian Wheezy. Try replacing 5.5 with 5.6 and see if it works as well, and probably precede it with sudo.
I have previously installed, connected and uploaded to a WordPress MySQL database via SSH no problem. The people who run my server made a few configuration changes, and now I get a "bash: mysql: command not found" error when I try to log into MySQL via the command line on the same server to access the same database.
I am relatively new to all of this, so I am really not sure what to do. When I run "which mysql" I get a message that says there is no MySQL executable in the /usr/bin directories. I can verify that MySQL is running between the fact that my site is still live and functioning and when I ran a command to test MySQL, I got a message that said "MySQL works!"
I find MySQL files in several directories, but I'm not really sure what I am looking for and how I connect to it when I do find it. I am also not sure if this is user error, or if somehow someone moved or hid MySQL from me -- likely user error??
A MySQL server is not a MySQL client.
Check if MySQL is running by executing this command:
ps aux | grep mysql | grep -v grep
And install the MySQL client:
sudo apt-get install mysql-client # Or your distribution command
If you have MySQL server up and running on your server, it does not mean you have a MySQL client installed on this server.
Try
ls -l /usr/bin/mysql*
Do you see MySQL binaries exactly present on system?
One more problem: Linux has very strange behaviour when you run binaries for another architecture.
For example, if you run a 32-bit executable on 64-bit system you will get an error message like "command or file not found", even if the binaries are actually present!
Now mysql-client has changed to default-mysql-client.
Hence the command:
sudo apt-get install default-mysql-client
Although MySQL is running, if you are not able to connect to the server using the mysql command, then you might be missing to provide soft links:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql /usr/bin
This should enable you to connect.
In order to get MySQL CLI working or to access the mysql command from anywhere, there are a set of steps to be done to add it to the $PATH variable.
First, open a terminal, and run the following command
echo 'export PATH=/usr/local/mysql/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile
Then to reload the Bash profile, run
. ~/.bash_profile
Now run,
mysql -u root -p
Enter the password which you gave during installation. You should see the following result:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 8
Server version: 8.0.23 MySQL Community Server - GPL
You sometimes need to install MySQL on the local machine as well. That means, if you have a host running a MySQL Docker container, the strange thing happened to me that I needed to install mysql-server on the host as well, not only in the container.
The reason was that there was a shell script that needed to check the right database name from a query. In your case, it might be something different. On your host machine (which might even be your local computer, depending the your setup), if on Linux, try:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mysql-server
Then you will get rid of
/home/.../some_bash_script.sh: line 123: mysql: command not found
