Strange behavior on stopping php artisan serve

When I change my SQL server from pgsql (localhost) to MySQL (remote host) in the env file

database.php file has this line:

'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),

i run:

php artisan serve

and I call my page it does not respond and get stuck

After this, I press CTRL+C and close Laravel.

Then I restart the engine PHP artisan serve, and then I get this error:

Laravel development server started: http://127.0.0.1:8000 [Sun Sep 16 16:05:52 2018] Failed to listen on 127.0.0.1:8000 (reason: Address already in use)

Is there something I am missing.

If I go back to my localhost database of pgsql and don't change the line 

'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'mysql'),

in my database.php file it works fine. (it should not because I am using a pgsql database)

I also tried using 

php artisan serve --port 3333

but that has given the same behavior.

Try to clear cached data like config, cache, view.

php artisan config:clear // cache:clear and view:clear

OR

This can happen when there is already an app running on 127.0.0.1:8000

You can close that app then it will work. OR if you want to run multple apps then use shown below way:

php artisan serve --host=127.0.0.1 --port=8888

You can try different host ip as well as port no.s

I suggest you should learn how to make a virtualhost. It will let you hit your local project without running this command and you can also make an alias like dev.app.com etc

Maybe another laravel application is running in this 8000 port. If not, you change the port for this application. like:

php artisan serve --port=8080
