You should use php artisan app:name command to rename your app. It will change namespace in all project files for you. This is the only right way to rename your app.

@JohnDoesLegacy, if you ran `php artisan app:name` command and now you want return everything back, just run `php artisan app:name App` – Alexey Mezenin Mar 22 '16 at 10:34

It seems you've also changed something manually. Just tried to rename an app and rename it back to `App`, it works just fine (Laravel 5.2). If you're using Git, just checkout old commit. If not, try to remember what did you change manually and try to repair it. – Alexey Mezenin Mar 22 '16 at 10:55
hmm ok nevertheless I'll give you a tick, Thanks! – John Does Legacy Mar 22 '16 at 11:06
if you get `ReflectionException error that class App\Console\Kernel can't be found` - `composer dump-autoload` – senty Jun 06 '17 at 16:23

From laravel version 5.3^ there is a function to call the app name

config('app.name');

You can change the default name 'Laravel' inside this file

config/app.php

'name' => 'Laravel',

And also inside .env file

APP_NAME=Laravel

This is what I was looking for. FYI If you're using `artisan serve` you will need to relaunch it – zanderwar Jul 24 '19 at 05:14

I just recommend to:

go to .env file at APP-NAME =
put your desired name in "" (double quotes)
restart your server

And you're done.

"restart your server" - the most important notice when dealing with HTTP requests :) – michabbb May 28 '20 at 19:24
