How to connect db of a Laravel 7.12 project on a remote ubuntu server without use artisan

Question

I am trying to run a laravel project on a remote server without executing artisan command. The design is executing properly. But I am not able to connect with the database. I edited the.env and databse.php file as per my requirements. Here I am attaching the connection code

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=mydb
DB_USERNAME=user
DB_PASSWORD=secret

'mysql' => [
        'driver' => 'mysql',
        'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
        'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
        'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
        'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'mydb'),
        'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'user'),
        'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', 'secret'),
        'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
        'prefix' => '',
        'prefix_indexes' => true,
        'strict' => true,
        'engine' => null,
        'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
            PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
        ]) : [],

What should i do for this issue?

Steps for running laravel project without executing artisan command

1. Need to install laravel framework on /var/www/html/laravel

2. Change the index.php file to

   require DIR .'/vendor/autoload.php';

   $app = require_once DIR .'/bootstrap/app.php';

3. Edit server.php

   if ($uri !== '/' && file_exists( DIR .'/public'.uri)) { return false; }

   require_once DIR .'/index.php';

4. Create laravel.conf file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/

   Listen 8000

   <VirtualHost *:80>

   ServerName ip_of_server

   ServerAdmin username@ipaddress

   DocumentRoot /var/www/html/laravel // specify the project location

   <Directory /var/www/html/laravel>

   Options Indexes MultiViews

   AllowOverride None

   Require all granted

   ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

   CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

5. Finally run the project
