Laravel 5 uses  env file to configure your app   env should not be committed on your repository  like github or bitbucket  On your local environment your  env will look like the following      env APP ENV local   For your production server  you might have the following config      env APP ENV production

In Laravel the default environment is always production   What you need to do is to specify correct hostname in bootstrap start php for your enviroments eg        --------------------------------------------------------------------------   Detect The Application Environment  --------------------------------------------------------------------------     Laravel takes a dead simple approach to your application environments   so you can just specify a machine name for the host that matches a   given environment  then we will automatically detect it for you         env    app- gt detectEnvironment array       local    gt  array  homestead         profile 1    gt  array  hostname for profile 1

What you could also have a look at is the exposed method Application- gt loadEnvironmentFrom  file   I needed one application to run on multiple subdomains  So in bootstrap app php I added something like    envFile     env      change  envFile conditionally here  app- gt loadEnvironmentFrom  envFile

Do not forget to run the command php artisan config clear after you have made the changes to the  env file  Done this again php artisan env  which will return the correct version

Laravel 5 gets its enviroment related variables from the  env file located in the root of your project  You just need to set APP ENV to whatever you want  for example   APP ENV development   This is used to identify the current enviroment  If you want to display errors  you ll need to enable debug mode in the same file   APP DEBUG true   The role of the  env file is to allow you to have different settings depending on which machine you are running your application  So on your production server  the  env file settings would be different from your local development enviroment
