Laravel 5 How to switch from Production mode

Question

When I run   php artisan env I get   Current application environment  production   How can I change this to development or something similar  So I can see errors   I have read a lot of the documentation but it is not at all easy for a newbie to understand  I don t have server config experience  really   I m sure there is  smart  way to do this  but all I am interested in  for now  is manually changing the environment  How do I do this

What you could also have a look at is the exposed method Application->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
$app->loadEnvironmentFrom($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

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

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
