My Laravel .env:
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:7HjBWArUX989c8K87678687m2+6786876hs=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=http://localhost
...
I get the following message if I do php artisan env.
Current application environment: production
Even if I set the default environment to local in the app.php config file, the application still think it is in production. This is driving me nuts. Anyone knows why this is happening and how to fix it? I have run the clean cache commands, optimize commands, etc. I deleted the bootstrap folder content manually, and still nothing.
Are use already run:
php artisan config:cache
php artisan config:clear
?
Update
In my opinion, there are only two reasons why you get production. 1) Something is wrong in your config/app.php in this line: 'env' => env('APP_ENV', 'production'), 2) Or something is broken in your .env file. Make sure you really have an .env file. If there is nothing wrong in your env file. And if in your app.php file this line is correct: 'env' => env('APP_ENV', 'production')
In my case, despite clearing the cache, my app env wasn't changing. I realized when I stopped php artisan serve and started it again the change in my .env file was reflected.
As to why that's the case I don't know yet, I will update this once I find out why.
Some time ago I asked about setting env settings and how to properly use them. I was quickly pointed to a comparable question and I found out that indeed it was bad practice to use env('KEY') throughout your code.
So now I am in the process of migrating my env settings to config/app.php.
However, if I play with Tinker, the env variables from Linux are not loaded by Laravel. For instance, if I place:
'test' => 'testing123',
within the config/app.php
and do a
sudo php artisan config:cache
and employ Tinker
config('app.test');
=> "testing123"
So that seems to work. However, if I place the following
'test' => env('DB_PORT'),
and do a
sudo php artisan config:cache
and test this with tinker:
config('app.test');
=> null
But when I am in the console and use:
env|grep DB_PORT
I see the right value for the DB_PORT key. I am supplying these in AWS frontend, these properties are then passed in the application as environment properties.
Anyone any idea why these are not imported/loaded correctly?
php artisan config:clear
Or you can just manually delete bootstrap/config.php, which is what artisan does after all.
See: vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Console\ConfigClearCommand.php
I am changing the timezone into Asia/Singapore at config/app.php, but when I try to do a date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); the result is still in UTC.
Is there anything in Laravel that overrides that timezone that I set at config/app.php ?
Just do this:
'timezone' => 'Asia/Singapore'
in config/app.php file and run this 3 command:
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan view:clear and
php artisan config:cache
Hope this helps you!!
Add this in config/app.php file:
'timezone' => 'Asia/Singapore'
After, run this command:
php artisan config:cache
At least in the generated application skeleton of Laravel 5.8, maybe other versions too, the timezone setting in config/app.php is
'timezone' => 'UTC',
so it will ignore an APP_TIMEZONE in the .env file.
So put an e.g. APP_TIMEZONE='Europe/Berlin' in .env and modify the line in config/app.php to this:
'timezone' => env('APP_TIMEZONE', 'UTC')
Or, when it's sure local, staging and production all run in the same timezone - change only the line in config/app.php to:
'timezone' => 'Europe/Berlin',
I am only learning laravel, and i am unable to load my laravel homepage on localhost:8000, from i long time it was going fine, but today i updated my composer and updated entry of :
config/app.php
in aliases::
'Form' => Collective\Html\FormFacade::class,
'Html' => Collective\Html\HtmlFacade::class,
in providers::
Collective\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
and composer.jason file:
in require::
"laravelcollective/html": "~5.0"
now,
localhost:8000 is causing errors. It is not showing any error but it just continues to load.
I think this issue is with clearing cache. You can run following command to clear cache:
php artisan config:cache
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
Hope this answer will help you well!
create .env file(copy from .env.example) and set
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug
Try to clean your access.log and error.log files in your Apache server logs folder (mine is here: c:\Apache\Apache2.2\logs\)
After upgrading to Laravel 5.2, none of my .env file values are being read. I followed the upgrade instructions; none of my config files were changed except auth.php. They were all working fine in previous version, 5.1.19
.env contains values such as
DB_DATABASE=mydb
DB_USERNAME=myuser
config/database.php contains
'mysql' => [
'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
]
I get this error:
PDOException: SQLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user 'forge'#'localhost' (using password: NO)
Clearly not pulling in my env config. This is affecting every single one of my config files, including third party such as bugsnag.
I also tried
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
Update
Trying php artisan tinker
>>> env('DB_DATABASE')
=> null
>>> getenv('DB_DATABASE')
=> false
>>> config('database.connections.mysql.database')
=> "forge"
>>> dd($_ENV)
[]
I have tried installing a fresh copy of Laravel 5.2. I basically only copied in my app folder; no additional composer packages are included. Still having the same issue. I have other Laravel 5.2 projects on the same server that are working fine.
If any of your .env variables contains white space, make sure you wrap them in double-quotes. For example:
SITE_NAME="My website"
Don't forget to clear your cache before testing:
php artisan config:cache
php artisan config:clear
From the official Laravel 5.2 Upgrade Notes:
If you are using the config:cache command during deployment, you
must make sure that you are only calling the env function from within
your configuration files, and not from anywhere else in your
application.
If you are calling env from within your application, it is strongly
recommended you add proper configuration values to your configuration
files and call env from that location instead, allowing you to convert
your env calls to config calls.
Reference: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/upgrade#upgrade-5.2.0
For me it has worked this in this order:
php artisan config:cache
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
And I've tried all the rests without luck.
Wow. Good grief. It's because I had an env value with a space in it, not surrounded by quotes
This
SITE_NAME=My website
Changed to this
SITE_NAME="My website"
Fixed it. I think this had to do with Laravel 5.2 now upgrading vlucas/phpdotenv from 1.1.1 to 2.1.0
I had a similar issue in my config/services.php and I solved using config clear and optimize commands:
php artisan config:clear
php artisan optimize
You can solve the problem by the following recommendation
Recommendation 1:
You have to use the .env file through configuration files, that means you are requrested to read the .env file from configuration files (such as /config/app.php or /config/database.php), then you can use the configuration files from any location of your project.
Recommendation 2: Set your env value within double quotation
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="887557629-9h6n4ne.apps.googleusercontent.com"
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="YT2ev2SpJt_Pa3dit60iFJ"
GOOGLE_MAP="AIzaSyCK6RWwql0DucT7Sl43w9ma-k8qU"
Recommendation 3: Maintain the following command sequence after changing any configuration or env value.
composer dump-autoload
composer dump-autoload -o
php artisan clear-compiled
php artisan optimize
php artisan route:clear
php artisan view:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache
php artisan config:clear
Recommendation 4: When the syntax1 is not working then you can try another syntax2
$val1 = env('VARIABLE_NAME'); // syntax1
$val2 = getenv('VARIABLE_NAME'); // syntax2
echo 'systax1 value is:'.$val1.' & systax2 value is:'.$val2;
Recommendation 5: When your number of users is high/more then you have to increase the related memory size in the server configuration.
Recommendation 6: Set a default probable value when you are reading .env variable.
$googleClinetId=env("GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID","889159-9h6n95f1e.apps.googleusercontent.com");
$googleSecretId=env("GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID","YT2evBCt_Pa3dit60iFJ");
$googleMap=env("GOOGLE_MAP","AIzaSyCK6RUl0T7Sl43w9ma-k8qU");
I missed this in the upgrade instructions:
Add an env configuration option to your app.php configuration file that looks like the following:
'env' => env('APP_ENV', 'production')
Adding this line got the local .env file to be read in correctly.
I had the same issue on local environment, I resolved by
php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache
and then cancelling php artisan serve command, and restart again.
Same thing happens when :port is in your local .env
again the double quotes does the trick
APP_URL="http://localhost:8000"
and then
php artisan config:clear
Also additional to what #andrewtweber suggested make sure that you don't have spaces between the KEY= and the value unless it is between quotes
.env file e.g.:
...
SITE_NAME= My website
MAIL_PORT= 587
MAIL_FROM_NAME= websitename
...
to:
...
SITE_NAME="My website"
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_FROM_NAME=websitename
...
I solved this problem generating a new key using the command: php artisan key:generate
if you did call config:cache during local development, you can undo this by deleting the bootstrap/cache/config.php file. and this is work for me.
In my case laravel 5.7 env('APP_URL') not work but config('app.url') works. If I add new variable to env and to config - it not works - but after php artisan config:cache it start works.

#Payal Pandav has given the comment above.
I want to tell a simple workaround. Just edit the config.php file in the bootstrap/cache/ folder. And change the credentials. This worked for me. Please don't delete this file since this may contain other crucial data in the production environment.
I experienced this. Reason was that apache(user www-data) could not read .env due to file permissions.
So i changed the file permissions to ensure that the server (apache) had read permissions to the file. Just that and boom, it was all working now!
Update:How to do this varies, depending on who owns the .env file, but assuming it belongs to the Apache www-data group, you can do this:
sudo chmod g+r .env
Modify it depending on your permission structure.
In my case, I needed to restart my Supervisord jobs (i.e. my queue workers). After doing so, a new environment variable I had added to my .env file was successfully pulled into my application.
Remember, queue workers, are long-lived processes and store the booted application state in memory. As a result, they will not notice changes in your code base after they have been started. So, during your deployment process, be sure to restart your queue workers. In addition, remember that any static state created or modified by your application will not be automatically reset between jobs.

I know this is super old, but today I discovered another reason why my .env was not loaded:
I had a (commited) .env.local
I recently switched APP_ENV from dev to local
With L8 (and maybe before), what happens is that it tries to find .env.<APP_ENV> and if it finds it, uses it.
Fun fact: in my case, .env.local was a blue-print file with non-sensitive information and not meant to be directly used, but that's what happened.
Removing the .env.local led to Laravel looking for .env instead.
In my case I was using VSCODE and it turned out my .env file was auto-dectected by the IDE as a shell script file and not an Ini which was causing me the issue. It's a rare occurrence, but I hope it will save someone time.
For Laravel coder. We can use config() to solve this problem
in file "config/app.php":
'same_url' => env('SAME_URL', 'http://localhost'),
in your code base:
$sameURL = config('app.same_url').'/orders/';
If you've come here because you have multiple .env.* files and php artisan config:cache resulted in incorrect settings, it's because it (tried to) read the .env file and not the one specific to your environment. Try this instead (where CODE corresponds to .env.CODE):
APP_ENV=CODE php artisan config:cache
I made the mistake by doing dd/die/dump in the index.php file. This causes the system to not regenerate the configs.
Just do dump in view files will do. The changes to .env file update instantly.
I had some problems with this.
It seemed to be a file permission issue somewhere in the app - not the .env-file.
I had to
- stop my docker
- use chown to set owning-rights to my own user for the whole project
- start docker again
This time it worked.
If you're using sail environment right after you change your environment variable just restart a server, otherwise it's going to show the old value.
In my case (Laravel 7.x) it happen because I had set environmental variable on server. To be precise in Docker container.
And because environments variables are higher priority than .env file, nothing changes during .env file edit.
Check if you set the env variable on the server:
echo $VAR_NAME
Tried almost all of the above. Ended up doing
chmod 666 .env
which worked. This problem seems to keep cropping up on the app I inherited however, this most recent time was after adding a .env.testing. Running Laravel 5.8
