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

You may need to clear the autoloader with composer dump-autoload

If that doesn't work you can manually remove the following non-tracked (usually) files to clear the autoloader and cache if they get jammed up:

/bootstrap/cache/packages.php

/bootstrap/cache/services.php
