This is more of small guide for those who have problems getting their local wamp/xamp powered server hooked up with the laravel instance.

The problem was solveable for me by changing my global php.ini extensions config and uncommenting the line containing

extension=pdo_mysql

Thought I might share this here since I saw a couple threads about this. Might be worth putting into the official docs.
