I am a server newbie so please bare my foolishness.
This is more a Server problem (I think) rather than a Laravel problem, but my website is based on Laravel5.4 so Just FYI.
I am currently using Google Cloud Platform to set up a VM which seemingly works as any others.
Currently installed:
so i put my website folder into /var/www/html/mywebsitefolder
I set up mysql database and configure my website config for database set up and tried to run php71 artisan migrate at this point. And it throws the following errors:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in /var/www/html/soyegg/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Co nnection.php on line 1200 In Connection.php line 1200: Class 'PDO' not found
which i researched and said php-pdo needed to be installed so I ran the following line in cli:
yum install php-pdo
yum install php-pdo_mysql
however the error still persists.
Then I further researched and said I need explicitly stated extension in php.ini in order to use them. But when I check my php.ini for php71 it doesn't involve any line looks any like the following which others said they are supposed to be added into php.ini:
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_sqlite.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so
I am noob so I guess php71 doesn't play extension like this? But I still added it somewhere in php.ini where it comments about extension.
Then more errors threw out.
Please Let me know what is going on.
EDIT: Thanks for Daniel, after running yum install php-mysqlnd the following error shown:

MariaDB is a branch of MySQL so install the PHP 7.1 version of the PDO driver for MySQL by running
yum install php7.1-mysql
This should automatically add it to the loaded configuration php.ini file.
Try the following command:
yum install php71w-mysqlnd
If the installation is executed by this command then it will be added automatically to php.ini configuration file.
