Laravel showing “Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions”

Question

Laravel was displaying to me \"Access denied for user \'homestead\'@\'localhost\' (using password: YES)\". One solution for this was clearing the cache and the config cache

Answer 1

Calling

php artisan config:cache 

before

php artisan cache:clear

fixed the issue.

Answer 2

Had the same problem on my vagrant/homestead VM. All the other things in this thread didn't help.

The solution was vagrant reload --provision

Answer 3

Can't this solve it?

$php artisan optimize:clear
Compiled views cleared!
Application cache cleared!
Route cache cleared!
Configuration cache cleared!
Compiled services and packages files removed!

Answer 4

I ran my project in a docker container, then later tried accessing it via laragon, I had similar issue, this was due to compiled configurations in /bootstrap/cache/config.php.

I fixed fit by running php artisan config:clear, this deletes the /bootstrap/cache/config.php file automatically.

Answer 5

You should update the permission using the below command-/

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data ./storage

This will resolve your below issue

Answer 6

First try:

Check if there is a "data" folder inside "storage/framework/cache/". If there is not, then create it manually. (create a new folder with name "data")

Option 2:

If there is a "data" folder inside "storage/framework/cache/". Remove ALL existing folders inside there.

Then final, running this:

php artisan cache:clear

This should fix this issue: "Failed to clear cache. Make sure you have the appropriate permissions."
