body: <p>I want to access a Mysql data the first step is to create a new table for "vanvlymen" and I typed mysql> USE vanvlymen;  the database changed. and type SHOW tables; showing the available of the tables that the database contains.</p>
  
  <pre><code>mysql -u root -p 
  enter password: ****
  
  mysql&gt; show databases;
  -databases-
  
   information_schema
   mysql
   performance_schema
   phpmyadmin
   vanvlymen
  
   5 rows...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>everything is looking good... 
  I have decide to tell mysql to specify the database I am working on before executing the query as "vanvlymen"</p>
  
  <p>app/config/database.php</p>
  
  <pre><code>   'mysql' =&gt; array(
          'driver'    =&gt; 'mysql',
          'host'      =&gt; 'localhost',
          'database'  =&gt; 'vanvlymen',
          'username'  =&gt; 'foobar',
          'password'  =&gt; 'foobar',
          'charset'   =&gt; 'utf8',
          'collation' =&gt; 'utf8_unicode_ci',
          'prefix'    =&gt; '',
      ),
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>save as file go to FileZilla using FTP find a file drag and drop into my live server overwrite the database.php file. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried to clear the cache like that </p>
  
  <pre><code> php artisan cache:clear 
  
   php artisan migrate
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it errors:    </p>
  
  <pre><code> SQLSTATE[42000] [1049] unknown database 'forge'. 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why keeping it said unknown database 'forge' I am excepting to change to vanvlymen database. Should I remove mysql and reinstall? </p>
  
  <p>I am using windows 8.1 with laravel 4.2</p>
  
  <p>Using phpmyadmin, I know what is the password and username to log in.</p>
