Nextcloud Server Install: Failed to connect to the database

I'm trying to set up a Nextcloud server.
I'm using PHP 7.4, Nginx, and MariaDB.

Upon connecting to the web server, the "Internal Server Error" screen appears. The log message says "Failed to connect to the database: An exception occurred in the driver: could not find driver." Full Nextcloud log output
Neither the MariaDB nor PHP systemctl log files contain any errors. I'm not sure how to fix this. Is this a PHP or a MariaDB error?

Re: Nextcloud Server Install: Failed to connect to the database

Why Php7.4? Did you follow an guide or doing it yourself? Have you enabled the needed php modules (like extension=pdo_mysql)?
You don't give much information, so please don't expect any detailed help.
