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 had the same problem but noticed if you run php artisan config:clear it also by default runs cache:clear right after it so when you run it again there is not cache in it and gives that error. you only need to run php artisan config:clear. I am not sure why cache:clear fails when its ran alone but running the config:clear is a good alternative.

Here is a helpful alias i use to clear everything in the app.

laraclear='php artisan config:cache && php artisan config:clear && php artisan view:clear && php artisan route:clear && php artisan telescope:clear && php artisan debugbar:clear'

Remove any unwanted commands that you do not use in it.
