Laravel showing “Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions”

Question

Laravel was displaying to me \"Access denied for user \'homestead\'@\'localhost\' (using password: YES)\". One solution for this was clearing the cache and the config cache

Answer 1

I ran my project in a docker container, then later tried accessing it via laragon, I had similar issue, this was due to compiled configurations in /bootstrap/cache/config.php.

I fixed fit by running php artisan config:clear, this deletes the /bootstrap/cache/config.php file automatically.
