Configuration

All configuration is managed through the .env file in the project root. Copy .env.example to .env and update the values for your environment.

cp .env.example .env

App settings

Core application identity and runtime behaviour.

Variable	Default	Description
`APP_NAME`	`Laravel`	Application name displayed in the UI and emails.
`APP_ENV`	`local`	Runtime environment. Use `production` on live servers.
`APP_KEY`	(empty)	32-character encryption key. Generated by `php artisan key:generate`. Must not be empty.
`APP_DEBUG`	`true`	When `true`, detailed error pages are shown. Set to `false` in production.
`APP_TIMEZONE`	`UTC`	Default timezone for dates and times throughout the application.
`APP_URL`	`http://localhost`	Full base URL used in generated links and emails.
`APP_LOCALE`	`en`	Default locale for translations.
`APP_FALLBACK_LOCALE`	`en`	Locale used when a translation key is missing in `APP_LOCALE`.
`APP_FAKER_LOCALE`	`en_US`	Locale used by Faker when generating seed data.
`APP_MAINTENANCE_DRIVER`	`file`	Storage driver for maintenance mode state (`file` or `database`).
`BCRYPT_ROUNDS`	`12`	Cost factor for bcrypt password hashing. Higher values are slower but more secure.

Never set APP_DEBUG=true or APP_ENV=local on a production server. Doing so exposes stack traces and environment variables to end users.

Logging

Variable	Default	Description
`LOG_CHANNEL`	`stack`	Primary log channel. The `stack` channel aggregates multiple channels.
`LOG_STACK`	`single`	Channels included when `LOG_CHANNEL=stack`.
`LOG_DEPRECATIONS_CHANNEL`	`null`	Channel for PHP and Laravel deprecation notices.
`LOG_LEVEL`	`debug`	Minimum severity to log (`debug`, `info`, `notice`, `warning`, `error`, `critical`, `alert`, `emergency`).

Database

Variable	Default	Description
`DB_CONNECTION`	`mysql`	Database driver. Supported values: `mysql`, `sqlite`, `pgsql`, `sqlsrv`.
`DB_HOST`	`127.0.0.1`	Hostname of the database server.
`DB_PORT`	`3306`	Port of the database server. Default MySQL port is `3306`.
`DB_DATABASE`	`prueba_soporte`	Name of the database.
`DB_USERNAME`	`root`	Database user.
`DB_PASSWORD`	(empty)	Password for the database user.

To use SQLite instead of MySQL, set DB_CONNECTION=sqlite and DB_DATABASE to the absolute path of your .sqlite file, for example /absolute/path/to/database/database.sqlite. The DB_HOST, DB_PORT, DB_USERNAME, and DB_PASSWORD variables are ignored for SQLite.

Session

Variable	Default	Description
`SESSION_DRIVER`	`database`	Where sessions are stored. Options include `file`, `cookie`, `database`, `redis`, `memcached`.
`SESSION_LIFETIME`	`120`	Session expiry in minutes of inactivity.
`SESSION_ENCRYPT`	`false`	Encrypt session data at rest when `true`.
`SESSION_PATH`	`/`	Cookie path scope.
`SESSION_DOMAIN`	`null`	Cookie domain scope. `null` defaults to the current domain.

Cache and queue

Variable	Default	Description
`CACHE_STORE`	`database`	Default cache driver. Options: `database`, `file`, `redis`, `memcached`, `array`.
`CACHE_PREFIX`	(empty)	String prefix added to all cache keys to avoid collisions.
`QUEUE_CONNECTION`	`database`	Queue driver. Options: `sync`, `database`, `redis`, `sqs`.
`BROADCAST_CONNECTION`	`log`	Broadcasting driver. `log` writes events to the log file.
`FILESYSTEM_DISK`	`local`	Default filesystem disk for file storage.

Redis

Required only when CACHE_STORE, SESSION_DRIVER, or QUEUE_CONNECTION is set to redis.

Variable	Default	Description
`REDIS_CLIENT`	`phpredis`	PHP Redis client library (`phpredis` or `predis`).
`REDIS_HOST`	`127.0.0.1`	Redis server hostname.
`REDIS_PASSWORD`	`null`	Redis password. `null` means no authentication.
`REDIS_PORT`	`6379`	Redis server port.

Mail

The default mailer is log, which writes emails to the Laravel log file instead of sending them. This is suitable for local development.

Variable	Default	Description
`MAIL_MAILER`	`log`	Mail transport driver. Options: `smtp`, `sendmail`, `mailgun`, `ses`, `log`, `array`.
`MAIL_HOST`	`127.0.0.1`	SMTP server hostname.
`MAIL_PORT`	`2525`	SMTP server port. Common values: `25`, `465`, `587`, `2525`.
`MAIL_USERNAME`	`null`	SMTP authentication username.
`MAIL_PASSWORD`	`null`	SMTP authentication password.
`MAIL_ENCRYPTION`	`null`	SMTP encryption. Options: `tls`, `ssl`, `null`.
`MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS`	`hello@example.com`	The “from” address on all outgoing emails.
`MAIL_FROM_NAME`	`${APP_NAME}`	The “from” display name on all outgoing emails.

During local development, keep MAIL_MAILER=log to avoid accidental email delivery. Inspect sent emails in storage/logs/laravel.log.

AWS / S3

Required only when FILESYSTEM_DISK=s3.

Variable	Default	Description
`AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`	(empty)	AWS access key ID.

Memcached

Required only when CACHE_STORE=memcached.

Variable	Default	Description
`MEMCACHED_HOST`	`127.0.0.1`	Memcached server hostname.

Front-end

Variable	Default	Description
`VITE_APP_NAME`	`${APP_NAME}`	Application name variable inherited from the standard Laravel skeleton.

This project uses Laravel Mix (Webpack) as its asset bundler, not Vite. The VITE_APP_NAME variable is present in .env.example because it is part of the default Laravel 11 skeleton, but it has no effect on the compiled assets. Front-end environment variables are not currently used in the build configuration (webpack.mix.js).
