15,986 PointsWhere would I adjust production database settings in Laravel 5.6?
I've been following this course with the current version of Laravel, and I've had no real issues until this video.
I know that the .env file is where you'd configure the database settings. But my .env only seems to contain info for one database -- how would I set up the configurations for a production environment and a staging environment?
Including my .env file below:
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=base64:yVrx+wur4DLUgyWHuLC6h6IRJWznYX+NyB6f0oJA7FY=
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_URL=http://localhost
LOG_CHANNEL=stack
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=odot
DB_USERNAME=homestead
DB_PASSWORD=secret
BROADCAST_DRIVER=log
CACHE_DRIVER=file
SESSION_DRIVER=file
SESSION_LIFETIME=120
QUEUE_DRIVER=sync
REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379
MAIL_DRIVER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.mailtrap.io
MAIL_PORT=2525
MAIL_USERNAME=null
MAIL_PASSWORD=null
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null
PUSHER_APP_ID=
PUSHER_APP_KEY=
PUSHER_APP_SECRET=
PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER=mt1
MIX_PUSHER_APP_KEY="${PUSHER_APP_KEY}"
MIX_PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER="${PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER}"```
