Hello support, Currently I have one droplet and 2 Database Clusters in my account, Droplet is connecting to Database Cluster 1, but now I want droplet to connect to database 2, I have changed the connection information of database 2 in .env file in my laravel project, at the same time I also changed the database information in /etc/environment file and /root/.digitalocean_dbaas_credentials file but my project still connects to database 1, I don’t understand why, can you please provide documentation for me to handle this?

Heya,
That’s weird. Where is your Laravel Project deployed? Is it on a Droplet or on the App Platform?
Also, try giving a wrong password to see if you are still going to connect. If you do, then that means either the changes are not taking effect or the credentials are being taken from someplace else.
Heya, @v2vnit
Laravel may cache the .env file. After updating the .env file, clear and refresh the configuration cache. You can also try to connect to the dataabse to check if the login credentials are correct.

Hope that this helps!
