This is regarding route cache on localhost

About Localhost

I have 2 routes in my route.php file. Both are working fine. No problem in that. I was learning route:clear and route:cache and found a small problem below.

if I comment any one route in my route.php file and then run below command

php artisan route:cache

This will keep the route disabled because the route list is in cache now. Now, go to route.php file and try to remove commented route and then try to run that enabled url. still it will show 404 because I need to remove cache by using below command

php artisan route:clear

So far everything is understood in localhost. No problem in that.

After deploying on shared hosting server on godaddy

Question : How can I remove the route cache on server?

Solution 1:

If you want to remove the routes cache on your server, remove this file:

bootstrap/cache/routes.php

And if you want to update it just run php artisan route:cache and upload the bootstrap/cache/routes.php to your server.

Solution 2:

If you are uploading your files through GIT from your local machine then you can use the same command you are using in your local machine while you are connected to your live server using BASH or something like.You can use this as like you use locally.

php artisan cache:clear

php artisan route:cache

It should work.

Solution 3:

For your case solution is :

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:cache

Optimizing Route Loading is a must on production :

If you are building a large application with many routes, you should make sure that you are running the route:cache Artisan command during your deployment process:

php artisan route:cache

This command reduces all of your route registrations into a single method call within a cached file, improving the performance of route registration when registering hundreds of routes.

Since this feature uses PHP serialization, you may only cache the routes for applications that exclusively use controller based routes. PHP is not able to serialize Closures.

Laravel 5 clear cache from route, view, config and all cache data from application

I would like to share my experience and solution. when i was working on my laravel e commerce website with gitlab. I was fetching one issue suddenly my view cache with error during development. i did try lot to refresh and something other but i can't see any more change in my view, but at last I did resolve my problem using laravel command so, let's see i added several command for clear cache from view, route, config etc.

Reoptimized class loader:

php artisan optimize

Clear Cache facade value:

php artisan cache:clear

Clear Route cache:

php artisan route:cache

Clear View cache:

php artisan view:clear

Clear Config cache:

php artisan config:cache

Solution 4:

you can define a route in web.php

Route::get('/clear/route', 'ConfigController@clearRoute');

and make ConfigController.php like this

   class ConfigController extends Controller
{
    public function clearRoute()
    {
        \Artisan::call('route:clear');
    }
}

and go to that route on server example http://your-domain/clear/route
