Lumen Database [xxx] not configured

Question

I am trying to query one of my setup databases with Lumen. I created a configuration file like this:

config/database.php

return [
    'mysql' => [
        'domains' => [
            'host'     => 'localhost',
            'username' => 'root',
            'password' => '',
            'database' => 'domains'
        ],
        // Other connections here...
        'driver'  => 'mysql'
    ]
];

I then try to execute my query in my route like this

app/Http/routes.php

$app->get('/billing/saved/{id}', function($id){
    $data = DB::connection('domains')
            ->select('select billing_id, nickname
                from billing
                where user_id = 108649 and billing_id = ?', [$id]);
    return response()->json($data);
});

When it gets run, I get the following error message:

InvalidArgumentException in DatabaseManager.php line 238:
Database [domains] not configured.

What am I doing incorrectly?

Answer 1

I know you already figured out the answer, though this might help other users having the same issue or looking for the correct settings.

return ['connections' => [
  'mysql' => [
        'driver'    => 'mysql',
        'host'      => 'localhost',
        'database'  => 'db_name',
        'username'  => 'user',
        'password'  => 'db_password',
        'charset'   => 'utf8',
        'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
        'prefix'    => '',
        'strict'    => false,
    ]
  ]
