Welcome to Stack Overflow!

From my experience this is usually because the host in the .env file is incorrect.

Your host of DB_HOST="DESKTOP-AMCDA5K" seems weird at first glance (I'm assuming this is your PC name).

try using DB_HOST=localhost or DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 assuming the SQL server is located on the same machine as Laravel

CodePudding user response：

As mentioned in the error message, the problem lay in the SQL driver.

SQL driver facilitates the connection between the application and the database (vice versa). Generally we two types of SQL drivers: ODBC and JDBC Anything went wrong with the SQL driver and/or its configuration/dependencies may result in such errors mentioned above.

You are being requested to take a thorough examination of your local environment to find out what went wrong so far.
