Answer 1

I had the same problem with another solution. I lost my around 4 hours to solve this problem. Please check the following to solve this problem.

1. Check php.ini file and remove semicolon from this line

   extension=pgsql

   extension=pdo_pgsql

2. Restart your apache2 server

   sudo service apache2 restart

3. Check if your PDO driver has updated in localhost phpinfo()

I did All the things right and still I had this problem. And you know why? Because I had several versions of php installed. So I was running php7.4 in my php cli but localhost was running on php7.2. So always check your php versions.

4. Check your php version on localhost and terminal cli
