Change Laravel DB Connection

Question

I want to change the DB in my Laravel project. I move to the .env file and changed the db name. But after I changed the db name, the larval project use still the old db. But why?

What's your config/database.php look like?

It doesn't work. I make a change in .evn and .evn_example but nothing happens. This project is a copy from another project but I'dont think that is is a problem?

in that case you have to run composer update command in your terminal.

The laravel configuration take credentials project get data from .env file Please try:

    $ composer dump

or

    $ composer dumpautoload

and then try to run the command

    $ php artisan config:clear

It worked form me when I had the same problem.

If this does not work please delete the content from cache in the directory bootstrap\cache and then try the above command again. Please make backup before delete.
