how to clean Laravel Bootstrap cache config file?

Question

I developed laravel app locally and uploaded in shared hosting.

While hosting I changed the database name and username of mysql in the .env and the config/database files.

But in remote its still using the old db name and user which is found in the bootstrap/cache/config file.

So how to clean the bootstrap/cache/config.php file?

Answer 1

The solution for me was to remove the files in the bootstrap/cache/ directory and then delete the vendor folder. Re-run composer install and then composer dump-autoload and the above campaigns should run fine. Deleting the vendor folder and re-running composer install was the missing link for me

Here is the Tip,

1. Flushing Application cache

   • Use php artisan cache:clear to flush the application cache or php artisan cache:forget to discard specific cache.
   • You can use php artisan config:clear to clear cached configuration of application.

2. Removing Blade Templates cache

   You can use php artisan view:clear to clear all compiled views.

3. Application Bootstrap cache

   If you want to clear the application bootstraper cache, php artisan optimize:clear will help you.

4. Route Cache

   There also a command to clear the route cache as php artisan route:clear.

5. Events and Listeners cache

   For events and listeners cache you can use php artisan event:clear

if you still stuck in finding helpful commands, you can run php artisan list and it will list out every command with its description. look for a specific thing you want to perform. if you need migration-related command, you can look in migration.
