Can PHP-Laravel connect to a local MySQL instead of an AWS RDS MySQL?

I have Laravel project where the previous .env file is:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=royo_channel
DB_USERNAME="channel_dev"
DB_PASSWORD="Gum23ho654#@!"

I set up AWS RDS MySQL and update the .env file to:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=xxx.rds.amazonaws.com
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=channel_order
DB_USERNAME="channel_dev"
DB_PASSWORD="holiday#1"

It seems that laravel register this change as when i try to change DB_PASSWORD to holiday#12.

I will get error 404:

QLSTATE[HY000] [1045] Access denied for user
‘channel_dev’@’102.39.13.304’

But when i am trying function like add user, the data will go to the local database.

Here is my config/databases.php:

use IlluminateSupportStr;

return [

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Default Database Connection Name
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Here you may specify which of the database connections below you wish
    | to use as your default connection for all database work. Of course
    | you may use many connections at once using the Database library.
    |
    */

    'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Database Connections
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Here are each of the database connections setup for your application.
    | Of course, examples of configuring each database platform that is
    | supported by Laravel is shown below to make development simple.
    |
    |
    | All database work in Laravel is done through the PHP PDO facilities
    | so make sure you have the driver for your particular database of
    | choice installed on your machine before you begin development.
    |

    • make sure you have saved the updated .env file correctly + restart your web server/PHP artisan after making the changes to .env file

    • else try clearing configuration cache by running php artisan config:cache (clears cached config files + force Laravel to read the updated file)

    • also, double-check that database host + port + username + password + database name in updated .env file are correct.

    Step 1 : Delete the config.php file from (bootstrap/cache/config.php) path. (Reason is the old database credentials could be cached there)

    Step 2 : Run below commands

     composer dump-autoload
 php artisan config:clear
 php artisan config:cache
 php artisan clear-compiled
 php artisan cache:clear
 php artisan view:clear
 php artisan optimize

    Step 3 : Restart the server

    Hope it helps 🙂
