Answer 1

Hope you are running your project in localhost. In your project folder app/config a file named parameters.ini , Make sure that your Mysql database connection cofiguration is correct. If you are using mysql See database_driver=pdo_mysql is its driver.

Below is an example.

database_driver   = pdo_mysql
    database_host     = localhost
    database_port     =
    database_name     = databasename
    database_user     = msqlusername
    database_password = mysqlpassword//if not make blank

    mailer_transport  = smtp
    mailer_host       = localhost
    mailer_user       =
    mailer_password   =

    locale            = en

    secret            = ThisTokenIsNotSoSecretChangeIt

Hope it helps you.

brew install php70-pdo-pgsql in case you installed php7 on mac with brew and, change php version according to what you have installed.
