try with change
to
First run
php artisan config:cache & php artisan cache:clearand try again. If the issue persists, you can manually specify the database connection within Users model:Normally this shouldn’t be necessary, as your application uses
mysqlas default connection, though I don’t know your environment. Problem could be anywhere. Hope this helps.I had same error and it occurred because of wrong validation role.
i got this error :
Check your validation rules again especially on [unique] rules.
My Wrong code :
And right ones :
You have same problem in ‘Auth/RegisterController.php’:
replace this :

I had same error and it occurred because of wrong validation role.
Database connection [users] not configured.
Check your validation rules again especially on (unique) rules.
I also encountered this problem and did a lot of searching, and this answer that our friend mentioned above is really correct
You entered the wrong codes in the validation
My Wrong code :
And right ones :
I had the same error on my Laravel 8.x and for solving your problem you have to change the validation rule for email input from
unique:users.emailtounique:users,emailjust like this:
