Laravel 5 database issue

Question

I\'ve installed laravel 5 successfully by using this command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel test-laravel-5-project dev-develop --prefer-dist
         


        

Answer 1

In Config->database.php

'mysql' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql',
        'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
        'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'DBName'),
        'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'root'),
        'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
        'charset' => 'utf8',
        'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
        'prefix' => '',
        'strict' => false,
        'engine' => null,
    ],

In .env file :

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=DBName
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

Close the laravel application server and restart again for clearing the cache.

  php artisan serve

Or you can do :

  php artisan config:clear

This will clear the cache in config files.

Now it will definitely work! Cheers!
