SQLSTATE[28000] [1045] Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO) Laravel in production

Question

Well, basically I got this error when I moved my project from local to production. In local it works perfectly. At first I thought Laravel wasn't reading .env, so I hardcoded the access data in database.php, but anything changed. I'm in a shared hosting and I don't hace access to the console. Any ideas?

Answer 1

If it doesn't pick up .env, it could means it's reading directly from the cached config. Changing database.php wouldn't help because config has been cached.

In your production file manager, look for /bootstrap/cache/config.php and delete it. It will manually clear the config cache on your production server and laravel should now picking up database configuration string from .env again.
