Laravel 5 + PostgreSQL: "Database [postgres] not configured." Error

php postgresql laravel laravel-5 artisan-migrate

You have to enter your configuration in the .env file.

The configuration you made will only be loaded if they are not already defined in .env

You need to use pgsql instead of postgres.

DB_CONNECTION=pgsqlDB_HOST=localhostDB_DATABASE=DB_NAMEDB_USERNAME=USERDB_PASSWORD=PW

php postgresql laravel laravel-5 artisan-migrate

Laravel sometimes caches your configurations. If you run into this problem while everything looks alright try running

php artisan config:cache
