title: Laravel 5.5 unable to do initial migrate
body: <p>I am trying to do the initial migration on a fresh laravel 5.5 installation. The home page works, but I seem to have a db setup issue. I'm using MariaDB and I am able to connect to my DB with a separate db client with no issues. Also I'm able to echo the DB name to the welcome screen without issue. Error is below:</p>
  
  <p>[Illuminate\Database\QueryException]
    could not find driver (SQL: select * from information_schema.tables where table_schema = TestApp and table_name = migrations)</p>
  
  <p>[PDOException]
    could not find driver</p>
  
  <p>welcome.blade.php code that works:</p>
  
  <p><code>@if(DB::connection()-&gt;getDatabaseName())
          &lt;p&gt;Database: {{ DB::connection()-&gt;getDatabaseName() }}&lt;/p&gt;
   @endif</code></p>
  
  <p>database.php</p>
  
  <p>'connections' => [</p>
