Old thread I know   but I lost a couple of hours of my life with this   You also need to set the DB info in the  env file   You don t have to specify the driver here because the default specified in database php is used  I think    I was struggling because it had DB CONNECTION mysql in the  env file and I was using pgsql

The driver came disactivated by default you should active by yourself  after that it will work well  I hope this do

I realize this is an old question but I found it in a Google search so I m going to go ahead and answer just in case someone else runs across this  I m on a Mac and had the same issue  but solved it by using HomeBrew  Once you ve got it installed  you can just run this command   brew install php56-pdo-pgsql   And replace the 56 with whatever version of PHP you re using without the decimal point

Be sure to configure the  default  key in app config database php  For postgres  this would be  default    gt   postgres    If you are receiving a  PDOException  could not find driver error  check to see if you have the correct PHP extensions installed   You need pdo pgsql so and pgsql so installed and enabled   Instructions on how to do this vary between operating systems     For Windows  the pgsql extensions should come pre-downloaded with the official PHP distribution   Just edit your php ini and uncomment the lines extension pdo pgsql so and extension pgsql so  Also  in php ini  make sure extension dir is set to the proper directory   It should be a folder called extensions or ext or similar inside your PHP install directory   Finally  copy libpq dll from C  wamp bin php php5    into C  wamp bin apache  bin and restart all services through the WampServer interface   If you still get the exception  you may need to add the postgres  bin directory to your PATH    System Properties -  Advanced tab -  Environment Variables In  System variables  group on lower half of window  scroll through and find the PATH entry  Select it and click Edit At the end of the existing entry  put the full path to your postgres bin directory   The bin folder should be located in the root of your postgres installation directory  Restart any open command prompts  or to be certain  restart your computer    This should hopefully resolve any problems   For more information see    http   php net manual en install pecl windows php http   webcheatsheet com php install and configure php extsetup

I see you are using Windows  I was not able to fix this with enabling any of the extensions that come with my Windows WAMP Server  I tried PDO ODBC and others and even found the Microsoft Official PDO SQLSRV    The solution for me was to install the PDO SQLSRV drivers from a 3rd party website  I found the drivers through  http   robsphp blogspot nl 2012 06 unofficial-microsoft-sql-server-driver html   I usually don t use DLLs from random websites  but I was desperate and this worked for me  Hoping it might save others numerous hours of frustration

In Windows 8 PC with Laragon 3 4 0 180809  I faced the same issue  It happened in my case because I updated Laragon and it added a new version of PHP  So in laragon bin php  I actually had two directories    php-7 1 20-Win32-VC14-x64 php-7 1 7-Win32-VC14-x64   I added 7 1 20 into my PATH variable  But in my Command Console  running php --ini was showing that the path actually was fetching from the older one  php-7 1 7-Win32-VC14-x64  So I deleted the old one  for safety  I put it in Recycle Bin   But Laragon failed to start after that   So  in laragaon etc apache2 mod php conf  I changed the path to the latest PHP version  Then restarted Laragon and the issue is resolved    Reference  How to add another PHP version - Laragon Forum

Solved after 3 hours     I am using WAMP  PHP 7 2 4   PostgreSQL 10  Laravel 5 6 29   Loaded PHP extensions  pgsql  pdo pgsql  from Wampserver 3 3  then I was able to connect to the PostgreSQL server with a simple php testcode from the www directory  But   php artisan migrate still returned      PDOException    could not find driver     I checked the shell  git bash for windows  with   php --ini  that returned C  wamp64 bin php php7 2 4 php ini instead of c  wamp64 bin apache apache2 4 33 bin php ini  loaded by WAMP So you have to uncomment pgsql and pdo pgsql extensions also in C  wamp64 bin php php7 2 4 php ini  and then migrate will work

I got this problem too  I have solved this issue already  If u are using Wamp then perform the following steps         Go to wamp64 www bin php php   where   is the php version you are using    Edit file php and uncomment this line by removing the semicolon        extension pdo pgsql to extension pdo pgsql         Save and restart your Wamp server      If it does not work  please check your  env and config database again
