Laravel – Clear Cache in Shared Hosting Server

Hello, This is the most common problem , when we deployed our Laravel app on Shared Hosting.

The command for clear cache using SSH or Terminal is

php artisan cache:clear

but some times when we are using Shared hosting then we don’t have ssh access .

Method 1:-

However, if you want to implement something inside the application, you can always use Artisan class.

You can call an Artisan command outside the CLI.

Create a route inside you routes/web.php.

Route::get('/clear-cache', function() {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('cache:clear');
    // return what you want
});

Now just call this from URL.

Method 2:-

To schedule automatic execution at a particular time, establishing a cronjob is necessary.

Open app\Console\Kernel.php and update the following code:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    $schedule->command('cache:clear')->hourly();
    $schedule->command('config:clear')->hourly();
    $schedule->command('view:clear')->hourly();
    $schedule->command('route:clear')->hourly();
    $schedule->command('optimize:clear')->hourly();
}

Thanks
