2. Remove cache and config
To remove cache and config you must run the following two commands
php artisan cache:clear;
php artisan config:clear;3. Remove config.php file
Running the above two commands might not be enough. We may also need to remove app/bootstrap/cache/config.php file. Delete the config.php file. It would be auto generated next time.
4. Run server
To run the server make sure, you run the below command
php artisan serve5. New browser
Sometimes the cache might not be removed from the browser. So either remove the browser cache or run the application on a new browser. You should be good to go.
