title: How to stop Laravel 5 from caching configurations?
body: <p>It is written in Laravel 5 documentation that <code>php artisan config:cache</code> stores all the app configuration into one single file which makes the application load faster.</p>
  
  <p>I want to know two things: </p>
  
  <p>The first thing is, how to force Laravel to stop caching my app configurations? For example, I want Laravel to read the name of my database and the password from the <code>.env</code> file or from the <code>database.php</code> configuration file, not from the cached data.</p>
  
  <p>The second thing is, where does Laravel store this cached configuration file, so that I can delete it when needed? I know there is an Artisan command for that, which is <code>php artisan config:clear</code>, but I want to know where the file stored.</p>
