I have the same issue after running a yii2 project on a different PC (Different from the one it was developed on). I am using Windows 8.1 and WAMP, connecting to a remote SQL server. From PHPinfo(), I can see that I have;
PDO drivers (mysql, odbc and sqlite) enabled. For pdo_mysql, I can see mysqlnd 5.0.11. What could be the problem?

NB. I am new to yii2.
