Laravel 5.4 sometimes uses different database credentials
Laravel 5.4 randomly (sometimes not always, or even frequently) tries to connect to a database using the default forge credentials...
I've changed the .env variables to my local MySQL Server already... and as I said it ONLY happens SOMETIMES (rarely)...
I'm able to force the issue to happen by spamming an ajax request that I created.
I did NOT tell Laravel to use a secondary database connection anywhere (unless there's an alternate connection by default when you first install).
Here's the error.
QueryException in Connection.php line 647: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'forge'@'localhost' (using password: NO) (SQL: select * from users where users . id = 2 limit 1)
Yes, I had that problem and solved by typing in terminal:
php artisan config:cache
As I think it happens because sometimes it can't read .env file.
