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 the 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)
Not pulling in my env config. This is affecting every single one of my config files, including third parties 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 only copied it into my app folder; no additional composer packages are included. I still have the same issue. Other Laravel 5.2 projects on the same server 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
