Answer 1

You can clear cache using:

php artisan optimize:clear

Or only clear config cache using:

php artisan config:clear

Answer 2

Maybe you have something wrong in your config/database.php file. If it is the case when you run composer update the console will show some error at the end of execution due the config/database.php file
