unable to change database connection details #112

Unable to change database connection details

I installed doptor on my local machine and it works well. Now I've uploaded it to the live server on a shared hosting and I'm now forced to use a different database name and user password. I've edited config/database.php with the new details but i get an error message showing that i'm still trying to connect with the old username and password. I've cleared the cache and all but i still get the same error.

Is there somewhere else i need to change the details? Do we only specify the details during the initial installation?

You are advised to change database information at /.env.example

mmlunjwa commented 9 years ago

The /.env.example has the following settings: APP_ENV=local APP_DEBUG=true APP_KEY=SomeRandomString

DB_HOST=localhost DB_DATABASE=homestead DB_USERNAME=homestead DB_PASSWORD=secret

CACHE_DRIVER=file SESSION_DRIVER=file QUEUE_DRIVER=sync

MAIL_DRIVER=smtp MAIL_HOST=mailtrap.io MAIL_PORT=2525 MAIL_USERNAME=null MAIL_PASSWORD=null

This is also not my old Db connection details and when I change the settings I still get an error message showing that I'm still trying to connect with the old username and password. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong

I was supposed to edit the /.env instead of the /.env.example I've got it working now
