More than likely, the configuration of your application is cached (which is a good thing in production environments, a bit less in development) and your changes doesn't affect anything because... cache!

If you need this in a development environment, I suggest you to disable the cache. Search into /config/application.config.php the keys config_cache_enabled and module_map_cache_enabled and set them to false.

If you just need a "one time cache refresh", then just clear the folder /data/cache. If this folder is already empty (or does not exists), search the key cache_dir in the /config/application.config.php. This options defines the path of the cache folder.
